AL Gemah King is a bold and streamlined font with beautifully designed filled letters with floral elements near the ends. The letters are connected and overlapped, which seems a little condensed. It is not a formal calligraphic font but rather a stylish, bold font catering to modern design needs. It has slightly blunt corners with elegant, thin, curly terminals that end with a thick dot. Moreover, the letterforms appear to be square-like, adding more to its modern appeal. It was released on January 9, 2020, and designed by the font designer Fazlur Rahman Quraishi. With 344 characters and 458 glyphs, it supports Arabic, Latin, and symbol scripts, meeting diverse typographic needs.
The font maintains a constant thickness in its letterforms, except for the stylized ends, where it features elegant, thin, curly terminals ending with a thick dot. Despite not being a formal calligraphic font, it exudes a modern and bold aesthetic, with slightly blunt corners and square-like letterforms contributing to its contemporary appeal. The font’s medium weight and width provide a balanced typographic layout suitable for various applications, while its strong but dynamic strokes enhance its visual impact. However, its legibility on screen, especially at low resolution, may be compromised, as the text appears condensed. Its monospaced spacing ensures consistency and structure, making it best suited for short texts due to its bold and decorative nature. AL Gemah King finds applications in titles, branding, book covers, invitations, creative posters, flyers, and similar design projects, thanks to its compatibility with Unicode blocks such as Basic Latin, Latin-1 Supplement, Arabic, and more.
