ABOUT

Nirmala

A Malayalam font distributed by Microsoft. Hashim Padiyath Mohemmadali (Cochin, Kerala) explains its uselessness: When the new font Nirmala was announced with Windows 8, one expected it to be better than Kartika, its unaesthetic predecessor with unacceptable shapes. But Nirmala Malayalam adds insult to the injury inflicted upon earlier. Sample these: 1. One conjuct has a missing stem 2. Has a confusing stroke ending style 3. Invents a clumsy way to handle descender portions 4. Substandard design quality, no optical corrections or proper stroke modulation.
