Description : Alkalami is a font family for Arabic-based writing systems in the Kano region
: of Nigeria and in Niger. This style of writing African Ajami has sometimes been
: called Sudani Kufi or Rubutun Kano.
:
: Alkǎlami (pronounced al-KA-la-mi) 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.
:
: The Alkalami 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.
