About Brahmos Arabic Font Family


Brahmos Arabic’s most striking feature is the appearance of its characters, which seem “written” by a pen held at an angle untypical for the Latin script, but typical for others. Interestingly, Broad-nib calligraphy underpins many of the world’s writing systems. If you look at the history of Devanagari or the Arabic script and Roman inscriptional lettering, you’ll notice that they each often employ broad-edge-written forms. Yet, broad nibs aren’t the only explanation for Brahmos Arabic’s appearance. The typeface mixes that with a modular method of letter construction. Brahmos Arabic’s letterforms are simplified where possible. Curves were eschewed in favor of straight lines and (usually) right angles, but diagonals are still present. Brahmos Arabic ships in two different formats. Depending on your preference, you can install it as a single Variable Font or use the family’s five static OpenType font files. Those weights range from Light to Bold. While the static-format fonts offer a good intermediary-step selection, users who install the Variable Font have vastly greater control over their text’s stroke width. Brahmos Arabic’s Variable Font’s weight axis allows users to differentiate between almost 1,000 possible font weights. That enables you to fine-tune your text’s exact appearance on-screen or in print. Dhwani Shah designed Brahmos Arabic.
