Released on April 16, 2019, it offers 499 characters and symbols, ensuring compatibility with various languages and a few Unicode blocks, including Basic, Latin, Latin-1 Supplement, Private Use Area, and Latin Extended-A. It comes in 2 different weights, which further adds to its appeal and use, including:
- Farsi Simple Bold Regular
- Farsi Simple Outline Regular
The Farsi Simple Bold Regular font style expresses a natural feel of handwritten writing, featuring contrasting thickness with denser strokes in the middle and thinner edges. Its impactful and dynamic strokes contribute to high legibility on screens, even at small sizes. With wide letters, thin pointy edges, and rounded corners, it offers a clear and elegant outlook influenced by the Nastaliq script.
On the other hand, the Farsi Simple Outline Regular font style presents a hollow letterform with just two thin lines outlining each character. Its simplicity and plain stroke make it suitable for a variety of applications. While the bold version is ideal for branding, logos, headlines, and headings, the outline version can be used creatively for decorative purposes. Both fonts maintain high legibility on screens, offering versatility for shorter and longer texts depending on the needs.
