Amiri Font
Free for Commercial UseAbout
Amiri is a book-focused Naskh typeface with moderate contrast, carefully modulated strokes, and compact vertical proportions that keep lines even and legible at small sizes. The rhythm feels measured and scholarly rather than flashy, with subtle calligraphic detailing that stays under control in dense paragraphs. It was developed as a revival of an early 20th‑century Bulaq Press style, so it naturally suits Quranic pages, classical literature, academic layouts, and any project that wants to feel anchored in traditional Arabic printing. On screens, it holds up well in interfaces and articles, though its historic flavor can clash with ultra-minimal or highly experimental branding where a more neutral or geometric Arabic type family might be a better fit. )
Best For:
Quranic typesetting and religious texts
Arabic book interiors and academic layouts
Long-form editorial and article reading
Bilingual print with Latin companions
Not Ideal For:
Highly experimental or edgy branding
Ultra-minimal tech or startup identities
Very tight display logos needing custom lettering
Perfect for advertising, body text, and editorial, with a calm and serif style.
