PakType Ajrak

Pak Type Ajrak is an Urdu font designed by Ayaz Gul Soomro and released on January 9, 2020. It is a creation of Pakistani Typography, Arkandis, and Yahoo foundries. The Arabic glyphs of the font were designed by Ayaz Gul Soomro, and Lateef Sagar Shaikh made the OTF. It offers an unusual appearance with untidy bold letters forming irregular words. With a vast character set of 945 characters and an extensive glyph count of 1795, this font offers versatility for various typographic needs. It maintains a normal font weight and medium width, ensuring balanced and readable text in both Arabic and Latin scripts.

Considering the physical characteristics, the font has a natural feel of handwritten text. It offers uneven spacing and character lengths, adding a personal touch to your text. With bold composition and rough stroke, its screen legibility is compromised. Hence, it cannot be used for longer text blocks and is restricted to short text applications like titles on posters, logos, book covers, and other creative purposes. Supporting Arabic, Latin, and symbol languages, Pak Type Ajrak caters to a wide range of design requirements. Its Unicode blocks cover Basic Latin, Latin-1 Supplement, Arabic, Arabic Supplement, Arabic Extended-A, General Punctuation, Currency Symbols, Letterlike Symbols, Geometric Shapes, Private Use Area, Arabic Presentation Forms-A, and Arabic Presentation Forms-B, ensuring comprehensive compatibility across different platforms and applications.
