Irqam Unicode is a decorative Urdu/Arabic font designed by Syed Manzar Hasan Zaidi and published by Axis Softmedia Pvt. Ltd. It is characterized by bold, filled letters with square-shaped openings and pointy, sharp edges adorned with unique floral designs. Inspired by the Naskh script with hints of Kufic influences, this font features consistent thickness and bold, impactful strokes. Its highly decorative nature, with wide square shapes and floral-edged letters, gives it an organic and visually striking feel.
Released in 2016, Irqam Unicode comprises 432 characters and 497 glyphs, ensuring compatibility with Urdu, Arabic, Latin, Persian, and more languages. While it offers high legibility on screens, its extra-bold and decorative outlook makes it more suitable for shorter texts, such as social media posts, logos, branding, headers, creative posters, invitations, and book covers. Supported by Unicode blocks like Basic Latin and Arabic Presentation Forms, this font finds versatile applications across various design projects that need a flair of traditional calligraphy.
