Designers Note
Pavanam is a clean, modern sans-serif font characterized by its geometric forms and balanced proportions. Designed for excellent readability across both print and digital media, it features open counters and subtle rounded terminals that lend a friendly yet professional tone. Ideal for headlines, branding, or user interfaces, Pavanam offers versatility with a contemporary aesthetic that works well in minimalist and tech-oriented designs.
Pavanam is a Tamil and Latin typeface designed with a focus on greater legibility in smaller sizes for both screen and print media. The Latin design is derived from Vernon Adam's Pontano Sans; it has been slightly modified to match with the Tamil typefaces's proportions and vertical metrics. The word Pavanam means wind in Tamil.
The Pavanam project is led by Tharique Azeez, a type designer based in Sri Lanka.
