Nasser, released by Yahoo in January 2022, is a modern Kufic Arabic typeface. The font is carefully designed by an Arabic font designer, Eyad Al-Samman. This Kufic-inspired diverse and geometric font has deep ties with classical Arabic scripting. It offers versatility for various design applications with 297 characters and symbols and 249 glyphs. It ensures broad language compatibility by supporting Arabic, Latin, and Symbols languages. With its distinctive style and medium (normal) width, the font adds elegance and visual interest to design projects, making it a valuable asset for designers seeking to create impactful typography. It is available in 3 different weights, enhancing its flexibility to adapt. These weights are:
- Nasser Bold
- Nasser Thin
- Nasser Regular
The typeface delivers a bold and impactful visual impression through its robust lines and geometric forms, evoking feelings of strength, solidity, and perhaps formality. Its consistent thickness, strong strokes, and uniform spacing show its commanding presence. The bold weight lends the letters a blocky and forceful appearance, enhancing their persuasive appeal. However, despite its bolder and attention-grabbing nature, readability may be compromised compared to more conventional fonts. Its Unicode support includes Basic Latin, Latin-1 Supplement, Arabic, General Punctuation, Control Pictures, Arabic Presentation Forms-A, and Arabic Presentation Forms-B, facilitating seamless integration across different platforms. Suitable for book covers, light board advertisements, and magazine and newspaper titles, Nasser stands out in black and white printouts and enhances colored pages, making artwork more appealing.
