About Us - Axis SoftMedia Inc

Always Deliver More than you Expected

Urdu is a rich and vibrant language with deep roots across the Indian subcontinent. It holds a special place in literature, media, and culture, enjoying the status of a second official language in many Indian states. From newspapers and magazines to textbooks and journals, the demand for quality Urdu publications remains high. Even Bollywood, the world's largest film industry, relies heavily on Urdu for its dialogues, preserving the language's elegance and poetic expression.

However, for a long time, Urdu publishing lagged behind due to the lack of proper digital tools. Unlike Roman and Devanagari scripts, Urdu requires ligature-based fonts, which were once a distant dream. Axis SoftMedia Inc. changed that by developing Ali Nastaliq — a groundbreaking character and ligature-based Urdu font that revolutionized Urdu publishing. Today, producing clean, polished Urdu content is as simple as pressing a key.

We’re Dedicated to Serve you All Time

At Axis SoftMedia Inc., we take pride in being pioneers in the field of Perso-Arabic fonts and software development. Our journey is rooted in a profound understanding of the linguistic and cultural landscape of the Indian subcontinent, particularly the rich tapestry of Urdu – a language that resonates across diverse regions. Urdu, as a pan-Indian language, is spoken widely, with a significant presence in newspapers, periodicals, magazines, journals, and textbooks. Despite its prevalence, Urdu had long faced challenges in the publishing industry, especially due to the absence of character and ligature-based fonts. This gap inspired us to embark on a transformative mission.

We specialize in converting physical content into high-quality digital formats. Our services include the digitization of books, manuscripts, corporate records, and historical archives, ensuring every project receives meticulous care and precision.
