This Arabic font is designed for text setting of extended texts in magazines, newspapers, books, and other publications.

It is the ideal basis for creating new custom versions for street and airport Arabic signs, corporate use, and publications. For inquiries on custom versions please contact Dr. Mamoun Sakkal.
