The font’s varying thickness at every corner and edge mimics the flow of a calligraphic pen or Qalam, enhancing its authenticity and elegance. With solid and impactful strokes, high legibility, and even spacing between letters, Al Shark Title ensures clear and easy-to-read text, making it suitable for both short and longer texts.
