Colak Pro
NoonFont · Amir Mesbahi · 2022
A variable Arabic display typeface with four adjustable axes — Style, Weight, Keshida and Compact — offering considerable flexibility for headline and branding work across Arabic, Persian, Kurdish and Latin scripts.
About
Originally released in 2022, Colak was built on the tension between bold positive space and minimal negative space. Colak Pro extends this foundation with a variable font system, two distinct styles (Formal and Fantasy), and an ultra-heavy Fat weight, while adding OpenType support for ligatures and alternates. A dedicated Latin character set is drawn to match the visual tone of the Arabic, making bilingual compositions coherent across scripts.
Classification
A display typeface built for headlines and branding, rooted in the Naskh Arabic tradition but with a bold, high-contrast character designed for maximum visual impact. Its variable axes and dual-style system place it firmly in the contemporary Arabic display category.
