(A) Arsalan Wessam B was released on October 6, 2017, by designer Arslan Wessem and presents a decorative hand-written and cursive Arabic font. Drawing inspiration from the Diwani script, it includes various modern decorative elements, resulting in a beautiful flowing appearance with long and overlapping terminals. With 668 characters and 1331 glyphs, the font offers enough room to effortlessly fulfill various design needs across several digital platforms. Moreover, it supports Arabic, Urdu, Greek, Persian, and more languages for a diverse typographic experience that aids in multilingual projects. Maintaining a constant thickness and strong stroke, the font offers a clear and impactful presence.
However, having only one font weight impacts its adaptability, limiting its demand and use. Suitable for short and long textual blocks, despite its informal appearance characterized by long curly terminals, soft edges, uneven spacing, and slight roundness in its letters. Moreover, it offers high legibility on screens, even at smaller sizes, making it a perfect choice for different design projects. Ideal for applications such as book covers, logos, digital signatures, poetry, and calligraphy, this font’s informal nature adds a personal touch to various design projects. Unicode support extends from Basic Latin to Arabic Presentation Forms-B, ensuring compatibility across platforms and applications. Arsalan Wessam B is ideal for designers seeking a decorative yet accessible Arabic font option.
