Adwa Assalaf is a wide Arabic font that looks elegant and easy to read. It’s inspired by traditional Naskh calligraphy but has a modern touch. It has slightly slanted edges with blunt corners, giving it a calligraphic or Qalam writing effect. The spacing between characters is consistent, resulting in a monospaced format that aids legibility. Because it’s wide, the letters have plenty of space between them, which makes it great for reading in newspapers, magazines, and on screens. Even though it’s wide, it still keeps the classic Naskh style, with smooth curves and horizontal lines. It’s a versatile font that can be used for many things, like logos, advertisements, striking headlines or headings, posters/flyers and books.
