PT Bold Broken is a unique Qalam writing font that offers an artistic appearance with its broken or shattered glass-like interiors. The typeface uniquely blends traditional Arabic calligraphy and modern design elements. Inspired by the Qalam script, known for its bold, flourishing strokes, and slanted edges, this font offers elegance with style. Each letterform has a “broken glass” effect. The internal texture of each letter resembles shattered glass, creating a fascinating effect between light and shadow within the solid ink. This contrast adds a layer of complexity to the typeface, offering not only a sense of boldness but with a creative touch. It is a highly versatile display font ideal for applications requiring a strong visual impact, such as logos, creative posters, and other designs.
Pt Bold Broken is designed by Platinum Technology 96 and released by Microsoft in 2017-07-17. It features a character set of 470 and 250 glyphs, offering enough room to achieve various design goals. The font weight is bold, offering a commanding vibe in design applications. Its font width is Medium (normal), ensuring a balanced appearance across different contexts. The font supports Latin characters and symbols, enhancing its diversity. The thickness of the font is bold but varies throughout the letterform, with horizontal characters appearing wider and thicker. Strokes in this typeface are solid, contributing to its legibility, which remains high even in smaller sizes. However, due to its bold appearance and stylistic nature, this artistic typeface is best suited for short text applications. It supports Unicode blocks such as Private Use Area, Basic Latin, and Latin-1 Supplement.
