Af-Al Nassrah is an irregular ink-writing Arabic font with the touch of natural handwriting. It has a unique letter composition, offering a personal feel to your design projects. The letters are neither aligned nor follow any scripting rules. Therefore, they also fall in the category of free-style fonts. It has a condensed appearance that makes text difficult to read, especially at smaller resolutions. Moreover, the font has a subtle roundness with a few mildly tilted letters, making it even more natural and real. This font is designed by Hasan Abu Afash and released on October 5, 2017. It is characterized by its medium weight and changing thickness at every point, giving it a fluid and inconsistent stroke.
With 479 characters and 530 glyphs, it supports Arabic, Latin, Urdu, and Persian languages. The font’s medium width presents a normal appearance, but its unevenly distributed letter spacing and fluctuating thickness affect its legibility, particularly at smaller resolutions. Due to its untidy appearance, Af-Al Nassrah is best suited for short texts rather than longer passages. It finds applications in creative posters, flyers, book covers, logos, branding, and more. Despite its challenges in legibility, it is compatible with various Unicode blocks, including Basic Latin, Arabic, General Punctuation, and more.
