ae Electron is a geometric sans-serif font with clean lines and even spacing, often seen on modern clocks. Crafted by font designer Nadim Shaikli, this contemporary decorative Arabic font emerged in 2017 through MAK Alagha, an Egyptian type foundry, offering a modern touch to typography. It is also known as clock font due to its resemblance with digital clock numerals. This sans-serif font is simple and based on easy-to-read numerals and characters with minimal embellishments. It has support for not only Arabic but also for Greek and Latin, increasing its appeal to be used for various bilingual projects. Moreover, it is compatible with numerous latest Unicode blocks, including Basic Latin, Arabic, General Punctuation, and Currency Symbol, among others, making it a versatile font.
Ae Electron is not a regular writing or textual font but a display one. It cannot be used to write long writing blocks due to its unusual appearance. This limits its usability and demand, along with the fact it only comes in a single font-weight. However, it has an extensive charset comprising 476 characters and 456 glyphs, offering versatility across various design platforms, making it accessible to fulfill your various digital design needs. This font prioritizes clarity and legibility, even from a distance, using bold and geometric strokes. It is intended to be extremely readable therefore, most used on smart devices such as computers, watches, smartphones, and tablets.
