In terms of thickness, Layla Ruqaa maintains a changing medium thickness throughout, which enhances its readability. The strokes are graceful and flowing, contributing to the font’s elegant style. This flowing nature of the strokes gives it a feel of traditional calligraphy, making it pleasant to read, even for longer text blocks. The spacing between letters is carefully even to ensure clarity and readability. This spacing helps in maintaining legibility, even when the text is set in smaller sizes.

The corners and tips of the letters are rounded and slightly pointed, providing a gentle yet modern look that improves the font’s overall visual appeal. However, there is only one weight available, but it is still a font that is highly preferred by designers for calligraphy projects.
