scriptNaskh
Muhammad Musa Albazi Naskh specimen from Omar Type Foundry

A classically-rooted Arabic Naskh typeface designed for calligraphic fidelity, with extensive glyph variants and up to seven levels of tatweel elongation.

About

Drawing on the Naskh tradition common to Pakistan, India, Iran, Afghanistan and Bangladesh, this typeface prioritises calligraphic accuracy through a wide range of letter and diacritical mark variants. The support for seven levels of tatweel elongation is technically demanding and extends its utility for formal and traditional Arabic typesetting. Coverage is currently limited to the Arabic language portion of the Arabic script.

Classification

A traditional Arabic Naskh script typeface rooted in the calligraphic tradition of South and Central Asia. The design prioritises calligraphic accuracy and variety through letter and mark variants, placing it firmly in the script category with a classical Naskh subcategory.
