About
Ghroob draws on the Naskh calligraphic tradition, refining it into a clean, contemporary design suited to print, web and mobile applications. OpenType features add flexibility: cursive letter alternates activated via special input, a reduced-descender Yaa for tighter line spacing, rectangular dot alternates and composite glyphs. Both Arabic and Latin scripts are supported across five weights.
Classification
Ghroob is an Arabic typeface rooted in the Naskh calligraphic tradition, characterised by its clean, simplified letterforms. Naskh sits closest to the serif category due to its structured, text-oriented strokes and long history as a book and body-text script.
