Description: Arabic Naskh style typographically oriented font
Amiri font is an Arabic 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.
