Lakht Unicode, designed by Syed Manzar Hasan Zaidi and published by Axis Softmedia Pvt. Ltd., is a modern and bold font with unique characteristics. Released on October 10, 2017, this font draws inspiration from the Naskh script while incorporating modern influences. With 434 characters and 497 glyphs, it offers extensive language compatibility, including Arabic, Latin, Greek, and Persian. The font features bold letterforms with equal spaces and a modern look, emphasizing horizontal lines to create a cohesive appearance. Its design gives the impression of blocks of different lengths joined together to form letters, with sharp corners adding to its contemporary style.
Despite being limited to a single font-weight (regular), the font maintains high legibility on screens, making it suitable for short text blocks. The thickness of the font remains constant throughout the letterforms, while its strong strokes contribute to its bold aesthetic. The typeface is characterized by sharp angles and two-tipped edges, enhancing its visual appeal. Additionally, the font includes small triangle-shaped dots, adding to its unique look. Lakht Unicode finds its applications in tech branding, advertising, and logos, particularly in games, posters, T-shirts, and book covers, where its bold and modern style can make a strong visual impact.
