Seven weights from Light to Black cover a wide range of typographic needs, from news titles to corporate identity. OpenType features include swash alternates, a reduced-descender Yeh, composite characters, alternate dots and support for the Saudi Riyal symbol.

Classification

A contemporary Arabic Naskh typeface with influences from Thuluth calligraphy, featuring clear letterforms, strong counters and narrow interior spaces. The Latin companion aligns with the Arabic design language, making it a dual-script family.
