Andalus, designed by Mohammad Alagha and Mamoun Sakkal and published by Microsoft, is a decorative Arabic display font released in 2011. Inspired by the Kairawani Kufic script, it offers a contemporary interpretation suitable for headlines, titles, posters, and artistic graphic design projects.
With 492 characters and 518 glyphs, Andalus ensures compatibility with Urdu, Arabic, Latin, Persian, and more languages, adhering to Unicode standards for seamless integration across different platforms and languages. While its intricate design may result in lower legibility, particularly for longer texts, it excels in shorter text blocks where its artistic flair can shine. The font features a thick overall appearance, denser towards curves and thinner near the edges, with impactful and changing strokes. It expresses the essence of the Kufic script with its unique decorative edges, characterized by pointy shapes and small triangular elements. The font prioritizes legibility on digital screens with clear lines, distinct shapes, and open counters. It incorporates subtle geometric influences and minimal ornamentation, offering a clean and structured aesthetic suitable for various applications, including branding, advertising, and decorative purposes.
