Pashtu Abdaali is a thin Qalam writing font designed to convey elegance with its sharp appearance and monospaced letters. Created by Abdur Rauf Mahsood and released on October 11, 2017, this font has clearly drawn inspiration from the traditional Naskh script, which is evident in its horizontal influence. Developed by Khpala Pashtu Inc., the font features 561 characters and 591 glyphs, catering to various typographic needs. With a delicate stroke and letters denser from the middle and sharper near the ends, this font offers a moderate thickness that makes it suitable for both long textual blocks and shorter snippets. Its high legibility on screens ensures easy reading, although smaller sizes may present challenges due to its delicate letterform.
The font exudes a formal look with its regular letterform and lean, monospaced letters. Soft, rounded corners and thin, sharp edges give it a refined appearance that resembles the calligraphy done with a Qalam. Pashtu Abdaali finds applications in creative posters, advertising, poetry books and newspapers, and formatting official documents. Supporting a wide range of languages, including Arabic, Latin, Greek, and Tibetan, this font is versatile and accessible to diverse audiences.
