About
Conceived in 2019 and first released in 2023, Peyda uses a vertical-horizontal skeleton and simplified letter forms to produce consistent negative spaces across both Arabic and Latin characters. Ten weights run from Thin to ExtraBlack, with stylistic alternates, swash forms and discretionary ligatures offering typographic variety. Version 4.0 introduced a variable font file and added Kurdish and Urdu language support.
Classification
