Sangestan Arabic Font
Si47ash Fonts · Shahab Siavash
A heavy rounded Arabic display typeface inspired by the Iranian poem 'The Tale of the City of Stone', balancing soft letterform curves with a dense, almost carved texture.
About
Designed by Shahab Siavash, the typeface takes its name and character from a poem by Iranian poet Mehdi Akhavan Sales. Individual letters read as soft and rounded, connected by delicate joins, yet full paragraphs produce a rough, weighty texture that earns the stone metaphor. It is aimed at headlines, logotypes and posters where that tension between approachability and solidity can be fully exploited.
Classification
A heavy, rounded Arabic display typeface with strong stone-carved texture; best suited to headlines and logotypes rather than extended text, placing it firmly in the display category.
