Introducing ADLaM Glossa Serif!

Glossa Serif is the first dedicated serif typeface for the ADLaM script, designed to bring typographic diversity and long-form readability to the Pulaar language. Created in collaboration with Ibrahima and Abdoulaye Barry — the inventors of ADLaM — Glossa Serif preserves the script's inherent calligraphic warmth while providing the structural authority expected of a text typeface. The design features bracketed serifs, moderate stroke contrast (2.5:1), and 68 core ADLaM glyphs covering the complete alphabet as standardized in Unicode. Each glyph was developed from hand-drawn sketches provided by the script creators, refined through expert typographic feedback, and optimized for editorial, academic, and formal publications. Glossa Serif fills a critical gap in ADLaM typography — offering the first serif option for books, magazines, reports, and any context requiring sustained reading comfort and typographic credibility.
