Font Designer – Abbas Al-Baghdadi

Abbas Al-Baghdadi created the font Firas™ in 2005.

Firas is a traditional Kufi and a winner in Linotype’s first Arabic Typeface Design Competition. The design is very geometric and bold with very high level of contrast. This makes it suitable for large display sizes, especially in the area of advertising. The font includes a matching Latin design and support for Arabic, Persian, and Urdu. It also includes proportional and tabular numerals for the supported languages.

Firas is part of the Linotype Library.
