Al Qalam Nabeel, crafted by Mr. Jamil-ur-Rehman, is a modern Urdu font released under the trademark of AlQalam on January 30, 2016. Drawing inspiration from the Naskh script, it presents a modern, filled style with formal undertones. Its 219 characters and 335 glyphs offer extensive language compatibility, including Urdu, Arabic, Latin, and Persian. Its comprehensive structure, small negative spaces, and dynamic thickness provide a visually engaging presence, highlighted by horizontal emphasis.
Moreover, vertical characters possess a delicate tilt, while pointy edges and soft, rounded corners add to their unique aesthetic. However, its uneven spacing and tilted surfaces may pose readability challenges for prolonged reading, suggesting it’s best suited for short bursts of text. Despite its decorative nature, Al Qalam Nabeel maintains high legibility on screens, even at smaller sizes, making it suitable for various applications such as branding, advertising, invitations, and storybook covers. The font’s thick and impactful strokes, alongside consistent dynamics, contribute to its distinctiveness. Also, by supporting multiple Unicode blocks, including Arabic, Latin, Currency Symbols, Mathematical Operators, and Arabic Presentation Forms-B, it ensures flexibility across various design projects.
