A contemporary interpretation of the Naskh style with a rational and flexible design, this extension of San Francisco serves as the Arabic system font on Apple platforms. Like San Francisco, SF Arabic features nine weights and variable optical sizes that automatically adjust spacing and contrast based on the point size of text. Its dynamic, variation axes allows the design to gracefully adapt between Display and Text sizes enabling a comfortable reading experience.

Designed to be versatile and space efficient, SF Arabic uses contextual substitutions that efficiently integrate in vertically compact interfaces. The typeface features an extensive repertoire that covers numerous vocalization, tone and poetic marks, extended vowel signs, honorifics and Quranic annotations. SF Arabic provides support across the following languages: Arabic, Kashmiri, Kurdish, Sorani, Mazanderani, Northern Luri, Pashto, Persian, Rohingiya, Sindhi, Urdu, and Uyghur.
