Al Qalam Mohib Alvi, developed by font designers Attari Qadri, Ishtiaq Ali, and Syed Manzar Hasan Zaidi, in collaboration with Axis Softmedia Pvt. Ltd. Mumbai, India, since 2008, presents a modern decorative Urdu font. Released on October 7, 2017, it draws inspiration from the Kufic script, with influences from the Naskh script and touches of Nastaliq in select characters. With 441 characters and 497 glyphs, it caters to diverse language requirements, including Urdu, Arabic, Latin, and Persian.
The font’s thin, constant thickness and delicate yet strong strokes ensure high legibility on screens, even at smaller sizes, though it’s best suited for short text due to its ornate nature. Al Qalam Mohib Alvi features symmetrical decorative letterforms, elongated and condensed with equal but less spacing, the essence of traditional Kufic script with square-like character shapes. Ideal for tech branding, calligraphy, creative posters, and logos, this font adds a touch of cultural richness to various design projects. Its unique blend of influences and attention to detail make it a versatile choice for designers looking to add an artistic flair to their projects.
