Description

SF Arabic Rounded extends the stylistic range of San Francisco - the system font on Apple platforms - with a friendly, flexible design that features nine weights and variable optical sizes that automatically adjust spacing based on point size. An extensive repertoire provides numerous vocalization, tone and poetic marks, extended vowel signs, honorifics, and Quranic annotations. Sharing a structure with the core system font, this rounded design enables text to harmoniously integrate with rounded interface elements and provides a softer, playful voice, extending the versatility of San Francisco.
