Description: |
Amiri font is a Naskh style, typographically oriented font, mainly for printing and running text.
Amiri font is a revival of the beautiful typeface pioneered by Bulaq Press, also known as Amiria Press, hence the name.
The uniqueness of this typeface comes from its superb balance between the beauty of Naskh calligraphy on the one hand, and the constraints and requirements of elegant typography on the other. Also, it is one of the few metal typefaces that were used in typesetting the Koran (as opposed to the usual handwritten calligraphy), making it a good source for a typeface to be used in typesetting Koranic verses.
Amiri Font Project aims at the revival of the aesthetics and traditions of Arabic typesetting (if partially), and adapting it to the era of digital typesetting, in a publicly available form.
Amiri Font is a free, open source project that everyone is encouraged to use and modify. See the license for more details. |

صِفْ خَلقَ خَودِ كَمِثْلِ الشَمْسِ إِذْ بَزَغَت يَحْظَى الضَجِيعُ بِهَا نَجْلاءَ مِعْطَارِ |
