"Kalos" (KAH - loss) is a word from koine Greek, meaning "beauty." Moreover, "kalos" is not simply beauty in an aesthetic sense, but beautiful in both form and function: "kalos" described the beauty of something that is excellent in its character, and well-suited for its purpose.
We chose the name "Kalos" for our press because we thought this word was an apt description of the kind of literature we aim to produce. Our works are, we hope, beautiful in their literary form, and also excellent in their fulfillment of purpose.
