Readability and limitations

• Excellent visual impact in display sizes; less suitable for long-running body text due to decorative terminals and higher contrast.
• Complex mark positioning means older layout engines or poorly implemented browsers may misrender stacked forms—ensure modern OpenType-aware rendering.
• When used in mixed-script contexts, pair with a neutral Latin typeface (a humanist sans or serif) that complements the Tamil strokes without competing visually.
