Description
Zaatar is a dynamic modern Arabic typeface abstracted from a mixture of Arabic ruq’ah and nastaliq, the slanted baseline with a geometrical contemporary touch, manifests a strong contrast between thick and thin strokes, presenting a retro-futuristic impression yet an Arabic calligraphic seriousness. And it comes with three weights and four stylistic sets giving it a variety of typographic possibilities.
