Layla Arabic specimen from Iwan Type

A five-weight Arabic display typeface by Ahmed Zaza that merges Kufi geometry with Naskh proportions for use in branding, editorial and advertising.

About

Designed by Ahmed Zaza, Layla Arabic draws its structural inspiration from Kufi calligraphy while absorbing the more rounded, text-friendly characteristics of Naskh, yielding a hybrid with modern proportions and classical Arabic script roots. Five weights spanning Light to Bold give designers flexibility across print and digital applications. The family is positioned for premium branding, packaging and advertising contexts where legibility and visual distinction are equally important.
