About
Maharif revives the aesthetic of Arabic advertising type, referencing the hand-lettered styles once common across print media and commercial hoardings. Six weights provide broad typographic range, while OpenType features include swash alternates (activated by appending 'ءء') and ligatures that improve text flow and cohesion. The family supports Arabic and Latin scripts, along with automatic substitution of the Saudi Riyal and Omani Rial currency symbols.
