AL Mawash is a bold and modern Arabic font distinguished by its subtle roundness and the interplay of contrasting thick and thin lines. While not strictly calligraphic, it draws mild influences from traditional Kufic calligraphy, resulting in a geometric and well-aligned appearance. Designed by Abdullah Naser, this font features 270 characters and 221 glyphs. Its bold weight and medium width create a bold and impactful presence, ideal for headings, titles, and creative projects. The varying thickness, with ascenders thinner than descenders, adds a dynamic touch to the font’s design.
With solid and dynamic strokes, AL Mawash ensures high legibility even at smaller sizes. The even and monospaced spacing between letters contributes to its clear, unadorned letterform. While it offers only one weight, its bold and wide outlook makes it best suited for short texts. Released with compatibility for Basic Latin, Latin-1 Supplement, Arabic, and various other Unicode blocks, AL Mawash finds applications in headings, titles, creative posters, flyers, logos, and branding projects. Its modern design and versatile nature make it a valuable addition to any designer’s toolkit.
