Al Qalam Quran Majeed, conjointly designed by Syed Shakir ul Qadree and Abdul Majeed Khan from Faisalabad, Pakistan, is a modern Quranic Urdu font released on October 9, 2017. Inspired by the Naskh script, it offers 557 characters and 901 glyphs, ensuring compatibility with various languages including Urdu, Arabic, Latin, and Persian.
This font style is characterized by its wide layout with small negative spaces, conveying a formal and less decorative appearance. With a regular font weight, it’s best suited for short text due to potential readability challenges over longer passages. Its thick, dynamic strokes and impactful, changing stroke patterns contribute to its visual appeal. Vertical characters are straight with no decorations, featuring pointy edges and sharp corners. Spacing is not constant, adding to its modern aesthetic. Al Qalam Quran Majeed finds applications in branding, advertising, posters, Quranic writing, invitations, and gift cards, offering versatility for various design needs. Moreover, the font’s ability to work with the latest Unicode Standards, make it a top choice for many artistic projects.
