Bahij ASVCodar is a wide and angular Pashtu font released on December 28, 2019, by the Bahij Virtual Academy in collaboration with designers Abdul Hamid, Tim Holloway, Ahmed Lakhdar-Ghazal, and Robert Slimbach. Inspired by the Naskh and Nastaliq scripts, this font integrates elements of both styles into its composition. Featuring 839 characters and 1217 glyphs, this font offers extensive coverage across various Unicode blocks, including Basic Latin, Latin-1 Supplement, Latin Extended-A, Latin Extended-B, Arabic, Arabic Supplement, and more. Its strokes are strong and consistent, with sharp edges and two available font weights:
- Bahij ASVCodar Regular
- Bahij ASVCodar Bold
Bahij ASVCodar is designed for versatility, making it suitable for both long and short textual blocks. Its high legibility on screens ensures ease of reading. At the same time, its balance of straight lines and soft curves, consistent thickness, and minimal ornamentation contribute to a clean and bold appearance with a touch of friendliness. Ideal for a wide range of applications, including creative posters, books, newspapers, and official documents, this font perfectly represents Pashtu typography’s true colors. With its wide character set and unique aesthetic, it offers designers flexibility and expressiveness in their projects.
