serifNaskh
Salma Arabic specimen from Iwan Type

A contemporary Arabic Naskh-inspired typeface with high stroke contrast and distinctive inter-letter connections, available in five weights with OpenType features including swash alternates and currency symbol support.

About

Salma Arabic draws on the Naskh calligraphic tradition whilst breaking from it through elevated stroke contrast and redesigned connections between letterforms. Five weights from Light to Black accommodate both headline and branding work, and OpenType features include swash characters (activated by appending 'ءء') and automatic substitution for the Saudi riyal and Omani rial symbols. A Latin companion is available as an add-on to the Arabic release.

Classification

A contemporary Arabic typeface rooted in the Naskh (Naskh) calligraphic tradition, distinguished by high stroke contrast and novel letterform connections that depart from classical conventions.
