The word qalam refers to a reed pen used for calligraphy, but since this year it is also a new media outlet showing the world history and culture as seen by people living in Central Asia.
The publication is now available in Russian and Kazakh, but the team is planning to introduce the English language version soon as well. The titles on their website, which was created by Tuman studio, are set in Heather Type by Letterhead, and Canela Text from Commercial Type is used for subheaders and body copy, and Arial for buttons and selected subheaders. The sans serif used for social media posts is CoFo Sans from Contrast Foundry.
The Qalam logo appears to be custom drawn.
