Aref Lamsa, designed by Abdoulla Aref, presents a bold and geometric Arabic font characterized by sleek letterforms. Inspired by elements of Naskh and Kufic calligraphy, it features a compact baseline, square-like letterforms, and horizontal emphasis, offering a modern twist on traditional styles. With support for Arabic, Latin, Urdu, and Persian languages, the font ensures versatility in multilingual design projects. The font maintains consistent thickness throughout its filled letters, with striking and solid strokes enhancing legibility. Sharp corners with wide edges contribute to its geometric aesthetic, providing a distinctive visual appeal. Offering only one weight, Aref Lamsa’s use and flexibility are limited. It finds its use in short texts only due to its bold outlook. You can use it in titles, headings, tech logos, game displays, and modern branding applications.
Although legibility remains high even at smaller resolutions, reading long text passages written in this style could become challenging due to its bold appearance. Nonetheless, its monospaced letter spacing ensures visual consistency and readability across various design contexts that need impact. With wide compatibility with the latest Unicode blocks such as Basic Latin, Latin-1 Supplement, Arabic, General Punctuation, Arabic Presentation Forms-A, and -B, the font offers extensive support for diverse typo experience.
