About Amiri Font

Amiri is a classical Arabic typeface designed by Dr. Khaled Hosny, drawing inspiration from the beautiful Naskh script used by the historic Bulaq Press in Cairo during the early 20th century. This font represents a careful digital revival of traditional Arabic calligraphy, combining timeless elegance with modern OpenType technology.

Released in 2011 as an open-source project, Amiri has become the go-to choice for Quranic publications, Islamic literature, and formal Arabic documents. It features extensive OpenType support including contextual alternates, ligatures, and specialized glyphs for Quranic marks, making it technically sophisticated while maintaining visual authenticity.

What sets Amiri apart is its dedication to readability in extended text while preserving the grace of traditional calligraphy. With 4 weights (Regular, Bold, Slanted, and Bold Slanted), it offers flexibility for complex typographic hierarchies in both print and digital media.
