About:
Chilanka is a distinctive handwriting-style script font designed to support Malayalam, a language spoken in Kerala, India. It provides clear, rounded glyphs that mimic natural pen strokes, making it ideal for user interfaces and display text. This package installs the font system-wide on macOS via Homebrew Cask.
Key Features:
  • Handwriting aesthetic with rounded, friendly forms
  • Optimized for Malayalam script rendering
  • OpenType features for proper text shaping
  • System-wide installation for all applications
Use Cases:
  • Displaying Malayalam text in UI elements and documents
  • Creating user interfaces with a friendly, informal tone
  • Enhancing accessibility for Malayalam-speaking users
Alternatives:
  • font-noto – Noto offers broader language coverage but with a more formal, sans-serif design
  • font-roboto – Roboto provides a neutral sans-serif style without the handwriting character
