IBM Plex Sans Arabic

IBM Plex Sans Arabic is a sans-serif family with a broad weight range, from 100 through 700, and a single normal style. Its inclusion of Arabic, Cyrillic Extended, Latin, and Latin Extended subsets makes it suitable for projects that need a consistent sans-serif system across these supplied writing systems.

Best suited for: Use it for websites, apps, dashboards, navigation, forms, and other interface text where clear hierarchy matters. The available weights can also support headings, labels, captions, and longer passages within one family, while the normal style keeps the overall treatment consistent.

Design considerations: The lightest weights can create a delicate appearance and may need generous sizing and contrast, especially in smaller text. Regular and medium weights are useful for everyday reading and interface controls, while semibold and bold provide stronger emphasis. Test each weight at its intended size and display setting.

Pairing guidance: Its sans-serif structure can sit comfortably beside a restrained serif for editorial contrast, or alongside a neutral sans-serif when a larger system is needed. Choose companions with compatible proportions and modest character so hierarchy remains clear. Match the pairing across the supplied subsets rather than relying on style differences alone.
