Ae Al Battar is a bold and decorative Arabic font with a geometric appearance. It was designed by font designer Nadim Shaikli and published by Arabeyes. The font has sharp angles and decorative sharp terminals, giving it a modern vibe. As evident from its composition, the font draws inspiration from the traditional Arabic calligraphic scripts. Its compact baseline and horizontal emphasis tie it to the Naskh script. However, the geometric letterforms and few design elements suggest it also incorporates some elements of the Kufic scripting language. The strokes of the letters maintain a consistent and relatively thick weight throughout. This contributes to the clean and minimalist look of the font. The letters are quite straight and balanced, with a few letters having a decorative mosque dome-like shape from above, adding an artistic touch to its practical charm.
Ae Al Battar offers extensive character and glyph support with 476 characters and 456 glyphs, including variations and typographic elements. It accommodates languages like Arabic, Latin, Greek, Urdu, and Persian, making it suitable for multilingual projects. Compatible with Unicode blocks like Basic Latin and Arabic, it ensures consistency across different platforms. The font’s versatility allows for use in headlines, logos, body text, and artistic projects. It is suitable for both digital and print media applications, delivering a bold and sophisticated aesthetic. The unique appearance of the font makes it accessible to decorative or creative applications rather than formal use. It can be used to make pamphlets, flyers, and posters that depict some Islamic text, especially about Ramadan or Islamic events. Moreover, it can be used to make bold headings that need the readers’ immediate attention. With a bold and decorative design, Al Battar adds elegance and sophistication to any text, making it perfect for capturing attention and conveying professionalism.
