Zarnew is a Persian font released by Monotype in 1998, specifically designed for 1995 Windows computers. This font features 463 characters and 458 glyphs, providing a versatile tool for designers. It is a thin Qalam writing font, best suited for long text applications rather than short text. This elegant typeface has carefully designed letters that add sophistication to any Urdu typo project. The font is available in normal and medium weights and has a medium (normal) width. Its letters are thick with a variable thickness that mimics the flow of a calligraphic pen. It is a Naskh-inspired font with clear horizontal emphasis, pointy but slanted terminals, and a compact baseline. This font includes some modern design effects that further improve its formal appeal.
Moreover, Zarnew supports multiple languages, including Arabic, Latin, Greek, Urdu, and Persian. It covers a wide range of Unicode blocks, including Basic Latin, Latin-1 Supplement, Latin Extended-A and B, Spacing Modifier Letters, Greek and Coptic, Arabic, General Punctuation, Letterlike Symbols, Mathematical Operators, Control Pictures, Private Use Area, Arabic Presentation Forms-A, and Arabic Presentation Forms-B. Plus, the gentle but strong strokes offer high legibility even at smaller sizes. The font has even spacing, contributing to its clean and readable appearance. Its elegant design makes the font ideal for long text applications, such as books, articles, formal documents, and extended content.
