Maza is an Arabic font with a unique maze-like appearance. Its letters are made up of three thin lines closely held together, having equal spacing between them. It offers a modern and futuristic vibe with a traditional touch. Despite its unique appearance, the font has hints of Bannai or square-Kufic in its letterforms. It was designed by Mohammed Abd El Khalik, who has a talent for providing unique typefaces. Even though it has an unusual appearance, the font only has 2 diiferent weights. However, still it has a less practical role in digital design and artwork. This type of font is often seen in modern logos, tech-related posts, titles, or branding but not much of a use in literary works. Its weights are:
- Maza Regular
- Maza Bold
The Maza font includes 183 characters and 134 glyphs. It was released on May 26, 2021. The font supports Basic Latin, Latin-1 Supplement, Spacing Modifier Letters, Arabic, Mathematical Operators, and Arabic Presentation Forms-A and B Unicode blocks. The font features consistent letterforms and uniform thickness in each line, with thin and strong strokes. Its monospaced design provides even spacing, enhancing its modern look. The font’s corners are rounded or soft, with wide, open-end terminals that are slightly curved. Thanks to its clear and uncluttered letterforms, Maza is highly readable in all sizes. However, it is best suited for short texts and titles rather than long reading paragraphs. It supports a diverse range of languages, including Arabic, Latin, Urdu, and more, offering broad linguistic versatility.
