About

Alkalami is a purpose-built typeface for scholarly and religious Arabic publishing, particularly contexts requiring precise rendering of vowel marks and Quranic annotations. Its design draws from classical Arabic calligraphic traditions while remaining practical for digital typesetting. The Latin script support is functional rather than expressive, reinforcing that this is primarily a tool for Arabic language publishing.

Classification

Alkalami is designed for Quranic and traditional Arabic text, following Ruq'ah and simplified Nastaliq conventions with carefully crafted diacritical mark spacing. Its Latin companion is minimal and secondary to the Arabic design.
