Font for Arabic-based writing systems in the Kano region

Alkalami is the local word for the Arabic "qalam", a type of sharpened stick used for writing on wooden boards in the Kano region of Nigeria and in Niger, and what gives the style its distinct appearance. The baseline stroke is very thick and solid. The ascenders and other vertical strokes including the teeth are very narrow when compared to the baseline. A generous line height is necessary to allow for deep swashes and descenders, and the overall look of the page is a very black, solid rectangle. Diacritics are much smaller in scale, with very little distance from the main letters.

This font supports the characters known to be used by languages written with the Kano style of Arabic script, but may not have the characters needed for other languages.

This font utilizes state-of-the-art font technologies to support complex typographic issues. Font smarts are implemented using OpenType only. There are no current plans to support Graphite.

Two fonts are included in this release:

   * Alkalami Regular
   * Alkalami Light Regular

Webfont versions and HTML/CSS examples are also available.
