Al Watan Headlines is a font inspired by the Naskh script, featuring horizontal emphasis, a compact baseline, and an easy-to-understand appearance for enhanced legibility. The design includes contrasting sharp and blunt corners, wide and slanted edges similar to Qalam-made strokes, and varying thickness at corners and edges for a dynamic effect. With solid strokes and even spacing between letters, it ensures clear and easy-to-read text, especially at smaller sizes. Both weights are suitable for short or longer texts, with a thick appearance ideal for limited usage where impact is needed. This versatile font blends modern design with traditional influences, adding depth and character to any project.
