Al Qalam Shakir

Al Qalam Shakir, a collaborative effort by Attari Qadri and Muhammad Ishtiaq Ali Attari, is a modern Urdu font with boldness and a feel of handwritten font. Released on January 30, 2016, this font embodies handwritten irregular elegance with soft, filled strokes and smooth corners. Crafted in the Naskh script tradition, it balances modern style and traditional roots. With 219 characters and 335 glyphs, it supports Urdu, Arabic, Latin, and more, ensuring compatibility with various languages and symbols. It boasts a single font weight, highlighting simplicity and ease of use. Due to its large letterform, the font is highly legible and stands out on the screen. However, it is not preferred for longer text blocks. Its handwritten appearance, soft strokes, and smooth corners uniquely charm branding, advertising, headers, and book covers. The font’s monospaced, wide design enhances readability, while its minimal decorative elements maintain a clean aesthetic. Perfect for diverse applications, Al Qalam Shakir adds a touch of sophistication to any project with its graceful yet bold presence.
