Description

This Arabic typeface is a member of an increasingly larger multi-script family. The typeface spans across 10 weights and includes Sans, Rounded, and a Grades version. The presentation showcases the major use cases of the typeface: designed to work on light, colored (matching 50% gray) and dark backgrounds, and crafted to speak to local audiences across the world. The design result is an authentic and contemporary Arabic typeface that reflects the client's warm and inclusive brand attributes.
