Concentrating on the design elements of GE SS Text, it is a modern interpretation of the Naskh script, with some influences from the traditional Thuluth script. While it retains the essential characteristics of Naskh, such as rounded letterforms and horizontal strokes, it also houses certain elements from Thuluth for a more modern and stylish look. Its characters are wide, mono-spaces, slightly rounded around corners with circular negative spaces giving your texts a neat and clean look. Therefore, it is perfect for projects when high readability is required including books, advertising, newspapers, invitations, and more.
