Abo Slman Alomar 3 is a Qalam writing Arabic font with an elegant outlook. It was released under the trademark of MonoType and CompuGraphic in 1996. Based on its uncluttered, plain appearance, it draws inspiration from the traditional Naskh script. Offering a compact baseline with horizontal emphasis, this versatile font has 527 characters and 530 glyphs, offering extensive support for Arabic, Latin, and symbol characters. It balances readability and visual impact with a font-weight classified as normal and medium. Its medium width ensures compatibility with various design applications and typographic layouts. The font covers Unicode blocks such as Basic Latin, Latin-1 Supplement, and Arabic, encompassing punctuation, letterlike symbols, and Arabic presentation forms.
As it is a Qalam writing font, it offers varying thicknesses throughout the letterforms, just like the flow of calligraphic pens. Moreover, its dynamic stroke and sharp edges add a visual interest. However, due its availability in a single font weight, its ability to adapt to different design needs is low. Therefore, it can only be utilized in applications such as body text in newspapers, magazines, books, documents, Quran writing, and more. Whether used for Arabic or Latin scripts, Abo Slman Alomar 3 is suitable for a wide range of design projects requiring clear and legible typography.
