About these Malayalam fonts

These 18 typefaces cover Malayalam script, the writing system used for Malayalam across Kerala, Lakshadweep and Puducherry (Mahe). The collection ranges from plain text faces meant for long documents to display faces built for headlines, posters and titles.

Use the preview box above to type your own words and compare every font at once, and the size slider to check that a font still reads well at the size you actually need. Each entry shows its file size before you download.

You do not need any of these fonts to write Malayalam online. The Malayalam typing editor produces standard Unicode text that every modern device can already show. Install a font when you want a particular look in Word, Canva, Photoshop or a video title.

Looking for something else? Google Fonts has every open-source Malayalam script typeface in one place: browse Malayalam fonts on Google Fonts.

Malayalam fonts: common questions

How do I install a Malayalam font on Windows?

Download the font file from this page, right-click it and choose "Install" (or "Install for all users" if you want every account on the computer to have it). Restart the app you want to use it in - Word, Photoshop or whatever it is - and the font will appear in its font list.

How do I install a Malayalam font on a Mac?

Download the file, double-click it to open Font Book, then click "Install Font". The font becomes available in every Mac app straight away, though apps that were already open may need to be restarted.

Are these Malayalam fonts free to use?

Yes, every font listed here is free to download and use. Individual fonts carry their own licences from their original authors, so check the licence that comes with a font before using it in a commercial product such as a book cover or a paid app.

Which Malayalam font should I pick?

For documents and anything long, pick a Unicode font with clear, evenly weighted letterforms - it will stay readable at small sizes. Decorative and display fonts look better in headings, posters and logos. Use the preview box at the top of this page to type your own text and compare fonts side by side before downloading.

Do I need these fonts to type in Malayalam?

No. The online Malayalam editor works without installing anything, because it produces standard Unicode text that your device can already display. Download these fonts only when you want a specific look in a document, design or video.
