About
Manjari stands out among Malayalam typefaces for its thoughtful balance between the script's inherent curvaceousness and the demands of modern screen typography. Designed by Shyam Krishnan, it is well suited to web publishing, app interfaces, and editorial design in Malayalam and bilingual Latin contexts. The Thin weight is particularly striking at display sizes, while Regular and Bold cover everyday text and heading needs.
Classification
Manjari is a refined, modern sans-serif with a distinctive flowing quality in its Malayalam letterforms, drawing on calligraphic tradition while maintaining clean, contemporary proportions. Its three weights and multilingual Latin Extended coverage give it genuine utility.
