Maqsad specimen from Iwan Type

A seven-weight modern Arabic Naskh with high contrast and a variable font axis controlling both weight and kashida extension, suited to branding and advertising at display sizes.

About

Maqsad balances open counters with horizontal extensions and sharp terminals, giving it a confident presence in headlines while remaining legible at smaller sizes. The variable font includes two axes for weight and kashida elongation, allowing fine control over typographic rhythm. OpenType features include discretionary alternate letterforms, compound characters, and automatic ligatures for the Saudi and Omani Riyal symbols.

Classification
