Free Font Friday: Kavivanar
by Taylor Slattery | December 20, 2019
The varied line weight also means that it’s well suited for body usage as the type has plenty of breathing space. The look of the typeface is inspired by a famous Tamil poet of the same name, Kavivanar Azeez, who lived in Sri Lanka and wrote in a similar slanted style.
Kavivanar strikes an interesting balance between being handwritten and digital and works well in both digital and print environments. It has a pretty mild character with just enough imperfection to feel like it was made by a human. It’s great as a display type or for pull quotes, but it’s well-suited for longer reads as well. You can find Kavivanar here.
