Tiro Malayalam is available in two orthographic flavours: the standard fonts supporting the traditional orthography for Malayalam, Sanskrit, and Pāli texts, and the ‘R’ fonts supporting the simplified, reformed orthography for Malayalam introduced in the early 1970s. The fonts share a common glyph set, and the default traditional or reformed behaviours can be overridden at the cluster level using formatting control characters as specified in the Unicode Standard. The design of Tiro Malayalam is inspired by the proportions and features of 19th Century metal types, including a slight slanting of vertical strokes that enliven text.
