    • Manorama & Meera: Widely used in print media.
    • Rachana: The default font for many modern Linux distributions and Unicode text.
  2. Stylish/Design Fonts (For Creators):

    • Noto Sans Malayalam: The best font for modern web design and apps (Google Font).
    • Chilanka & Dyuthi: Casual and artistic fonts great for posters and social media posts.
