Publisher: AdobeThe Adobe Tamil typeface was designed by Fernando Mello for Adobe from 2012 to 2013. Tamil script professionals Fiona Ross and Rathna Ramanathan spoke with on the style. This type household was designed to balance with Adobe Devanagari, both in terms of obvious size and style, to ensure the 2 households might be typeset together as a system. The main intended use ̶ for printed outputs, particularly continuous text settings ̶ assisted the design direction.
The letter construction is based on traditional Tamil penmanship and features a contrast circulation somewhat lower than the standard so as to maintain strong, legible forms at small sizes. The style includes cautious attention to shaping and information that enable these typefaces to also serve well as screen types at bigger sizes. Numerous readily available Tamil types feature sloped letterforms, however the Adobe Tamil design includes upright kinds that follow normal letter construction discovered in calligraphy and in writing.
The Adobe Tamil typefaces abide by the Unicode requirement for character encoding and take advantage of the technology of OpenType to produce proper script shaping and accurate pulli placement. The font styles include a substantial set of ligatures that incorporates classical and modern types of the Tamil script. The font styles include both proportional and tabular numerals in European styles, in addition to proportional types for Tamil numerals. Additionally, ligature forms for traditional orthography are accessible via stylistic sets.
The Adobe Tamil fonts are further examples of Adobe's high standards in design and severe attention to technical quality, and offer an exceptional alternative to existing digital Tamil types.
