Nameh, designed by Naghi Naghashian and trademarked by him, is a modern Arabic font released on April 13, 2021. Drawing inspiration from the Naskh script with contemporary influences, the font features a modern, fat, filled, and condensed style. Its letters are characterized by small negative spaces and rounded curves with slanted thick edges, giving them a unique and eye-catching appearance. The font offers extensive language support with a wide list of 585 characters and 564 glyphs, including Arabic, Urdu, Latin, Greek, and more. The font is designed with heavy and black weights, limiting its usability primarily to short texts due to potential readability challenges over prolonged periods.
Despite its condensed nature, Nameh maintains high legibility on screens, thanks to its constant thickness throughout the letterforms and solid strokes. The font’s extra bold and wide letterforms are evenly spaced, with soft corners and relatively large vertical letters, contributing to its modern aesthetic. This typeface finds applications in various design projects, including branding, headings, advertising, logos, and more. Its contemporary look and extensive character set make it a versatile choice for designers seeking to make a bold statement with their typography. Additionally, it includes proportional and tabular numerals for supported languages, as well as conventional mathematical symbols, enhancing its utility across different contexts.
