Problem

Designers and developers working with regional language typography (specifically Malayalam script) struggle with standard font rendering glitches, missing glyphs, and complex shaping rules inside design environments like Figma.

Solution

Thoolika seamlessly converts typed Malayalam text into clean, resolution-independent SVG vector shapes directly inside Figma without requiring external converters or third-party web tools.

Engineering Breakdown

  • Figma Plugin API integration for direct canvas vector node generation.
  • OpenType font glyph shaping and complex script ligature processing for Malayalam unicode points.
  • Client-side SVG path generation and group layering for easy styling in design workflows.
