Al Qalam Quran Majeed 2, designed by Abdul Majeed Khan from Pakistan, is a modern calligraphy font released on October 9, 2017. Inspired by the traditional Naskh script, it features large spaces between letters with small negative spaces, enhancing legibility. With 557 characters and 901 glyphs, it supports multiple languages, including Urdu, Arabic, Latin, and Persian. This font offers high legibility on screens, even at smaller sizes, making it suitable for both short and long texts. Its thick, dynamic strokes and impactful, constant strokes give it a distinctive presence. Vertical characters are adorned with dashes at the end, while pointy edges and sharp corners add to their modern appeal. However, it only comes in regular font-weight, which can pose a limitation to its usability.
Al Qalam Quran Majeed 2 has a monospaced, wide layout, and although it’s not overly decorative, it exudes sophistication. Ideal for branding, advertising, posters, invitations, gift cards, and storybook covers, this font provides versatility and readability for various design projects. Moreover, the font complies with the latest Unicode standards, including Basic Latin, Arabic, Latin-1 Supplement, Arabic General Punctuation, and more, increasing its practicality even more.
