Abdoullah Asghar El-Kharif is a bold Arabic font with clear and unembellished letterforms. The font has a mild calligraphic influence, evident in its rounded but slanted edges and compact letterforms. It is influenced by the classical Naskh scripting language, displaying elegance even with minimalistic design elements. Some of its characters overlap around corners, adding visual interest. The font was released on October 9, 2017, and designed by Muhammad Hacen and Abdoulla Aref. It consists of 386 characters and 362 glyphs for typing various languages easily. The font width is medium (normal), with constant thickness throughout the letterforms and solid strokes. Its legibility is high on the screen, making it easy to read.
The font is suitable for short text applications due to the bold weight and thick characters, as it would be difficult to read such content for a long period of time. Therefore, it is used in branding, striking headings or titles, social media posts, etc. Abdoullah Asghar El-Kharif supports languages such as Arabic, Latin, Urdu, and Persian, catering to multi-lingual projects. However, it is available in only one weight, limiting its use and adaptability. Additionally, it is compatible with Unicode blocks like Basic Latin, Latin-1 Supplement, Latin Extended-A, Arabic, and more.
