Reem Kufi

Sample Reem Kufi is a Fatimid-style decorative [Kufic] 1 typeface as seen in the historical mosques of Cairo, and is largely is based on the Kufic designs of the late master of Arabic calligraphy [Mohammed Abdul Qadir] 2 who revived this art in the 20th century and formalised its rules.

Reem Kufi is particularly suitable for display settings, in titles or decorations. Due to its unmistakable old Kufic style, it gives a feeling of something old, historical, or Islamic.

Some glyphs in Reem Kufi has several alternate variants that can work better for different situations, they can be accessed with “Character Variant” features (cv01, cv02, and so on).

Reem is an Arabic female name that literally means “a white deer” and it so happens to be the name of my daughter.
