Introduction:

After a comprehensive examination of the old font, several design, programming, and spacing issues in Arabic and Latin characters became apparent. We preserved the font’s essence because it is distinctive and has become synonymous with KAFD. 

In response, we comprehensively rebuilt the KAFD font from the ground up. During this process, we carefully preserved the font’s unique personality and stylistic elements that made it stand out. However, we significantly improved the letterforms, refined the spacing, and resolved all programming issues to ensure the font performs flawlessly across different platforms and environments. The result is a modern, polished typeface that retains the essence of its original design while offering enhanced usability and visual harmony for both Arabic and Latin.

The KAFD font is a sans-serif typeface inspired by the Kufic style of its Arabic letterforms. It supports both Arabic and Latin languages and has five weights.
