Gozaar
NoonFont · Mehrdad Notash · 2024
A six-weight Naskh text family in Arabic script, designed over two years to offer a fresh perspective on this classical calligraphic tradition.
About
Gozaar is rooted in the Naskh script, one of the most widely used and legible Arabic calligraphic styles, with the designer seeking to distinguish it from existing Naskh typefaces while retaining the script's inherent readability. The family spans six weights and is suited to publication and body text settings in Persian, Arabic and Kurdish. Low contrast and careful attention to practical use underpin its design decisions.
Classification
Gozaar is a Naskh-script text typeface, a calligraphic style traditionally used for Arabic-script typography. Naskh sits within the serif category by analogy, as it features structured stroke endings and moderate contrast suited to continuous reading.
