Kalam · type specimens for Bangla

A research site documenting contemporary Bangla typefaces and the people who design them.

The problem

Contemporary Bangla typefaces have almost no public documentation.

The outcome

An open, text-first specimen library with detailed pages and designer interviews.

Kalam catalogues Bangla type: specimens, interviews with designers, and a slow newsletter. The site is intentionally text-first, with rich detail pages for each face.
