Pashtu Preghal is a thick and geometric font released by Khpala Pashtu Inc. on May 25, 2011. Designed by Abdur Rauf Mahsood, this font draws inspiration from the square-kufic script, featuring angular letterforms with symmetrical edges and a square-like appearance. With 561 characters and 591 glyphs, it offers a large language support, including Arabic, Latin, Urdu, Greek, Tibetan, and more. On the downside, it only offers one font-weight, which limits its appeal and demand. Moreover, its Unicode blocks cover Basic Latin, Latin-1 Supplement, Latin Extended-A, Arabic Presentation Forms, and many others, ensuring compatibility across various text systems and languages.
The font maintains a thick and constant thickness throughout, with strong and impactful strokes, enhancing legibility and making it suitable for various applications. However, Pashtu Preghal may not be suitable for longer textual blocks due to its distinct look, which can make it illegible for literary purposes. Therefore, it is preferable for shorter texts where its modern and formal appearance can make a statement. Pashtu Preghal is highly legible, making it ideal for tech branding, advertising, logos, UI/UX designs in mobile applications, and more. Its modern font, with formal letterforms and constant thickness, adds a professional and contemporary touch to any design.
