PDMS Saleem Quran, a product of Pakistan Data Management Services, pays tribute to the valued art of Quranic calligraphy in Pakistan, drawing inspiration from the esteemed Yameen Dehlvi’s style. Developed under the guidance of Mr. Mohammed Saleem, a distinguished calligrapher, this font displays the essence of handwritten Qalam writing with filled letters and dynamic thickness. This font offers 542 characters and 737 glyphs, catering to Arabic, Latin, and Symbols across various Unicode blocks. Released on October 11, 2017, its normal font-weight and medium width ensure compatibility with different platforms.
While not directly based on any specific calligraphic script, PDMS Saleem Quran bears influences of Nastaliq, which is evident in certain characters with a subtle slant. The irregular feel of the font, coupled with closely spaced letters, adds to its handwritten charm. Ideal for creative projects, the font offers impactful and changing strokes with thick and dynamic thickness. Its straight vertical characters, varied letter sizes, and decorative edges contribute to its casual yet engaging appearance. Applications for this Quranic font span branding, advertising, poetry, posters, and gift cards, where its unique blend of handwritten look and dynamic presence can leave a lasting impression.
