Karbalaei is a bold Qalam writing Urdu font offering an elegant appearance with its carefully crafted letterforms. This font has the ability to add a sense of tradition to any text it can be applied to. It is based on traditional Naskh calligraphy and modified according to modern design trends. It offers bold and filled letters aligned horizontally, having a slightly wide appearance. Moreover, it has slanted edges and sharp and pointy terminals, adding more to its refined appearance. Released in 2016, the font was originally designed by a Yemeni font designer, Sultan Almaktari, in 2003. However, in 2007, it was further enhanced and modified By Mojtaba Kia and finally edited by Ali Savari in 2015. Therefore, it is now a trademark or intellectual property of irfont.ir ®.
Karbalaei is a versatile font that features 434 characters and 417 glyphs, making it a diverse choice for various design needs. The font’s thickness is bold but irregular, changing throughout the letterforms, which adds a dynamic and unique look. It is a monospaced font, meaning the spacing between letters is even, contributing to its clean appearance. The bold and dynamic strokes enhance the font’s readability, making it suitable for short texts and titles. However, due to its bold nature, it may be challenging to read for longer periods. The font supports multiple languages, including Latin, Urdu, Arabic, Farsi, and English, making it ideal for multilingual projects. It is commonly used for announcement posts, headings, logos, and book cover designs. The font includes various Unicode blocks, such as Basic Latin, Arabic, and Mathematical Operators.
