New release: Sakkal Saad

We are excited to announce the release of Sakkal Saad, an Arabic typeface with 12 styles by Dr. Mamoun Sakkal and Aida Sakkal! The family communicates through both traditional and modern design elements: calligraphic beauty balanced by sharp pen strokes for a contemporary look that carries a dose of warmth.

Designed for text, Sakkal Saad has compact vertical proportions for space economy while maintaining legibility, whereas Sakkal Saad Poster opts to take up more vertical space with a commanding presence that still only barely extends words horizontally across a line. The sharp strokes of the pen are also clearly expressed for a contemporary look, highlighting the fine characteristics of Naskh calligraphy here.

The text family, Sakkal Saad, is ideal for signage, branding, and long text settings, especially online and in books and magazines. And the display family, Sakkal Saad Poster is great for display and advertising. With an included custom version of Aneto for Latin-based text, Sakkal Saad provides clarity and graphic style in multiscript design and communication.
