Shurfa specimen from Iwan Type

A seven-weight Arabic Naskh typeface drawing on Thuluth calligraphic detail, available as a variable font, suited to headlines and short-to-medium Arabic and Latin texts.

About

Shurfa is built on the baseline-anchored Naskh style whilst borrowing visual characteristics from Thuluth script, producing letterforms that are legible yet carry calligraphic personality. The family spans seven weights from Light to Black and includes a variable font, with OpenType features covering swash letters, alternate dots, reduced yaa descenders and ligatures. It targets graphic design, visual identity and editorial applications across both print and digital media.

Classification

A contemporary Arabic Naskh typeface with structural influences drawn from Thuluth calligraphy; the baseline-anchored letterforms and calligraphic detail place it firmly within the Naskh tradition adapted for typographic use.
