Thank you so much for your kind words, Sir. It means the world to me coming from someone as talented and respected as yourself. Your encouragement inspires me to keep pushing myself and pursuing my passion.
I am immensely grateful for the wonderful opportunities, Sir.

I came across this incredible piece of lettering in a vintage magazine.
As someone who loves all things type, especially Tamil typography, I just had to do a quick analysis of it.
Here's a breakdown of its brilliance.
An emotional, dream-come-true moment. My font, Kavivanar, created from my late father Kavivanar M. A. Azeez's handwriting, is in the #Parasakthi teaser!
Seeing his legacy honoured on screen by the brilliant Sudha Kongara & @Siva_Kartikeyan is a surreal honour. Thank you!

ஆன்ம வொளிக்கடல் மூழ்கித் திளைப்பவர்க்
கச்ச முண்டோடா ? – மனமே
தேன்மடை யிங்கு திறந்தது கண்டு
தேக்கித் திரிவமடா!
- மகாகவி பாரதி
இன்று பாரதியாரின் 104ஆவது நினைவு நாள்.
Dream big - பெரிதினும் பெரிது கேள்.
@akaasi@karthickk This seems like a font from a proprietary catalogue. The first font in this image is the one that is referenced here. The image is from https://t.co/YPEfcRqCUP
Hope this helps.
Tamil Type Unveiled #2 is here!
Diving into the groovy 70s with this 'அஞ்சலி' (Anjali) masthead from 1971.
The playful, pop-art energy is fantastic, especially how the 'pulli' (dot) is reimagined as a flame. Pure retro fun!
Kicking off my new series: Tamil Type Unveiled ✨
First up: A deep dive into the stunning 1958 masthead for "ஆத்மஜோதி" (Light of the Soul).
A masterpiece of custom letterpress design, full of unique flourishes that give it so much character. Follow for more!
ஒரு நீல வட்டம்.
முடிவும் இல்லை, முதலும் இல்லை.
வாழ்வின் தொடர்ச்சி போல.
"வாழ்வின் வட்டத்தில், அன்பே மையம்."
இந்த எளிய உண்மை, பிரபஞ்சத்தின் ஆதாரம்.
இந்த அன்பை அகிலமெங்கும் பகிர்வோம். 💜
Awesome to see Apple fixed the new Tamil typeface in the latest iOS/macOS update!
The letters now have authentic curved shapes, making it so much easier to read. Abrupt sharp corners are gone.
Look at those beautiful அ and ஆ! This is a huge improvement.
Thank you, @Apple
Apple’s new Tamil typeface needs a fix!
The latest iOS/macOS update makes Tamil harder to read with tight spacing, poor readability & congested glyphs. Its lack of cohesion with Latin script makes mixed-text look out of place.
Apple should revert the font / design a new one.
