Bahar
NoonFont · Hoda Kaspoor · 2025
A single-weight Persian display typeface by Hoda Kaspoor, distinguished by spiral terminal curves and a horizontal pen angle that gives the script a calligraphic warmth suited to logotypes and advertising.
About
Bahar (meaning 'spring' in Persian) uses a horizontal rather than diagonal pen angle, producing striking thick-thin contrasts that differ from conventional Naskh construction. Letters taper toward the baseline and thicken as strokes rise, lending a Latinised quality to the overall structure. Ornamental and simple alternate forms for isolated letters, plus built-in ligatures, support harmonious typographic compositions in headlines, advertising slogans and logotypes.
Classification
A Persian calligraphic display typeface with a horizontal pen angle and strong thick-thin contrast, closer to modern calligraphy than traditional Naskh. Its italic-like overall structure and spiral terminal forms place it firmly in the script/display category.
