Olfah is a TrueType Arabic typeface designed by Mostafa EL Abasiry, a well-known Arabic font designer. It was released in 2017 and available at various reliable sources for an amount of 24 USD. This unique font is wide with filled characters, perfect to make attractive black headings. Its straight geometric outlook suggests its inspiration driven from traditional Arabic calligraphy, the Naskh script. It has an extensive charset to fit in the whole Arabic grammar with a glyph count of 307. Olfah comes in basically 2 weights:
• Olfah Regular
• Olfah Bold
Moreover, each character is completely filled in, contributing to the font’s strong visual weight and bold personality. The absence of serifs or other decorative elements keeps the design clean. The space between letters is slightly wider than average, highlighting the individual characters and increasing readability, even at smaller resolutions. The sharp edges and tiny flicks at the end of some characters hint at the calligraphic roots of the design. This type of font can be used to make persuasive posters or to generate eye-catching web content. It also finds its uses in book covers and print media.
