X Zar is an Arabic font family designed by Behnam, an Arabic font developer. This unique calligraphy font is a trademark of MacFarsi and was licensed and released in November 2002. It is based on the Naskh script, a popular calligraphic style known for its angular letterforms and horizontal emphasis. The font has a large character set of 941 letters and special symbols with 845 glyphs and is supported by Arabic, Latin, and Greek. Moreover, it comes in 5 different weights and styles, including:
- X Zar Regular
- X Zar Bold
- X Zar Heavy
- X Zar Italic Bold
- X Zar Basic
X Zar is a modern adaptation of the Naskh script, lacking any additional decorations and stylistic elements. It has a plain look; letters are monospaced with soft and rounded curves and sharp terminals. In its every weight, the font aims to deliver high legibility on screen and, therefore, can be readable even at smaller resolutions. Its soft yet clear nature makes it befitted to a variety of projects where clarity is needed. These may include long editorial texts and publications. However, the black and bold variants can be utilized to make meaningful, solid statements that leave a sense of authority on readers.
