Haider, designed by Syed Manzar Hasan Zaidi and developed by Axis Softmedia Pvt. Ltd., is a regular Urdu font released on February 21, 2016. Drawing inspiration from the Naskh script with modern influences, it offers 444 characters and symbols, ensuring compatibility with various Unicode blocks. Moreover, this font is usable in different languages, including Arabic, Urdu, Persian, and more. This font style features widely spaced and monospaced letters, with horizontal emphasis, contributing to its clear and readable appearance. Despite its calligraphic inspiration, this typeface maintains high legibility on screens, even at small sizes, thanks to its clear and straightforward design.
The font boasts a constant thickness, with thin and pointy tips like in traditional Qalam writing. Generously spacious letters and constant spaces between characters contribute to Haider’s readability and clarity. Its contrasting strokes, denser in the middle and thinner near the edges, add depth and visual interest to the text. The characters are straight and formal, with pointy edges and sharp corners, enhancing its professional look. Whether used in social media posts, creative posters, book covers, or other design projects, this font ensures high readability and visual appeal. It is an excellent choice for longer texts where clarity and legibility are essential.
