With 493 characters and 475 glyphs, it seamlessly integrates into several digital design platforms. Moreover, it offers extensive language support for Arabic, Latin, Urdu, and Persian. Featuring a normal font-weight and medium width, it ensures a balanced appearance suitable for various design applications.

Considering its design elements, AGA Mashq V2 draws inspiration from the traditional Kufic and Naskh script. However, it does not strictly belong to one single category due to its intricate appearance. Thickness is constant throughout the letterforms with sharp and slanted edges. And with its solid strokes, it gives a commanding vibe. Therefore, it is perfect for such applications where emphasis or immediate attention is required. Its applications are headings, invitations, logos, branding, and some other creative endeavors. Its Unicode blocks encompass Basic Latin, Latin-1 Supplement, Latin Extended-A, Latin Extended-B, Spacing Modifier Letters, Arabic, General Punctuation, Letterlike Symbols, Private Use Area, Arabic Presentation Forms-A, and Arabic Presentation Forms-B, ensuring compatibility with different text encoding standards, making it more diverse.
