Download free Tamil fonts for your projects. All fonts support Tamil characters.
Tamil lettering has a rhythm of its own: rounded strokes, measured counters and gentle curves that resist harsh geometric simplification. This collection grows one careful addition at a time—script styles for long reading, display cuts for headings, informal handwriting for friendly tone, and sturdy pixel‑clean forms for UI labels. Every file here is checked for legible rendering of core Tamil characters, vowel markers and common ligatures across modern browsers, office suites and design tools.
Designers use these fonts for book interiors, school worksheets, packaging, devotional posters, app interfaces, subtitles, brand wordmarks and social cards. Instead of flooding the page with clones, we aim for variety: contrasting stroke modulation, different x‑height philosophies, spacing tuned for dense paragraphs versus airy headlines. You can browse, test in your own sample text and download without friction.
If you are balancing Tamil with Latin (English) text, pick a pairing where vertical proportions align; generous Tamil ascenders often ask for a slightly taller Latin companion. Mixing weights? Keep Tamil heavier by 10–15% optical weight for parity in multiscript layouts.

Tip: Test legibility on a mid‑range Android phone plus a recent iOS device—Tamil rendering weight and hinting sometimes diverge. Adjust letter-spacing slightly (+2 to +4 units) for dense UI labels to avoid visual crowding.
