AL Quds

AL Quds, a trademark of ZakDesign, presents a modern Qalam writing Arabic font featuring wide letterforms. Inspired by the Naskh calligraphy, it includes slanted edges with horizontal emphasis and a solid baseline, capturing the essence of classic Arabic script. With 537 characters and 456 glyphs, the font offers a more diverse typographic experience. Moreover, the typeface supports Arabic, Latin, Persian, Urdu, and more, catering to diverse language requirements. The font maintains a moderately thickened consistency throughout the letterform, complemented by sharp, thin terminals and curled descenders for visual interest. Its solid strokes ensure impactful readability.

Blunt corners with inward-bent thin and sharp terminals give AL Quds a calligraphic outlook. Despite its intricate detailing, the font maintains high legibility, even at smaller sizes, owing to its simple and wide letterform. Even and monospaced letter spacing further enhances readability across various applications. Released on January 2, 2021, the font finds its niche in long textual blocks, making it suitable for titles, creative posters, newspapers, blogs, logos, and branding projects. Its compatibility with Unicode blocks covering Basic Latin, Latin-1 Supplement, Arabic, and more ensures seamless integration into various design environments. However, with only one font weight available, its adaptability may be somewhat restricted.
