About
HT Rakeez reinterprets the Naskh tradition with a disciplined approach to proportion and rhythm, balancing visual strength across its eight-weight range from ExtraLight to Heavy. Sharp angular cuts and refined zulf terminals distinguish it from conventional Naskh revivals, giving it a modern character suited to both print and screen. Its name, from the Arabic رَكِيز, points to its guiding principles of functionality, structure and precision.
