A Persian/Arabic display serif with nine weights and a four-step optical size axis, blending geometric structure with calligraphic forms for use at large sizes.
About
Developed during the COVID-19 lockdowns of 2021 and refined through 2023, the typeface balances geometric construction with calligraphic details such as swash letters and discretionary ligatures. Four optical size styles allow the fine strokes to remain legible across a range of print and screen sizes. Latin characters are coordinated with the Perso-Arabic script in spacing, size and design to allow mixed-language setting.
Classification
A high-contrast display serif combining geometric structure with calligraphic detailing, designed for Persian/Arabic and Latin scripts. Its dramatic stroke variation, optical size axis and distinctive letter forms place it firmly in the display serif category.
