Alkalami

Alkalami is a serif typeface with a single regular weight and normal style. Its combination of Arabic, Latin, and Latin-ext subsets makes it suitable for projects that need text in more than one writing system. With only one available weight, it is best approached as a consistent reading or supporting typeface rather than a broad display system.

Best suited for: Use Alkalami for editorial paragraphs, articles, essays, book-like layouts, and informational pages where a serif texture can support sustained reading. It may also work for bilingual headings or labels when the same family is useful across Arabic and Latin text. Keep larger display roles restrained, since there is no separate bold or light style.

Design considerations: The regular 400 weight provides one stable level of emphasis, so hierarchy will need to come from size, spacing, position, or a contrasting companion face. Normal styling keeps the overall system focused and uncomplicated. For dense passages, allow comfortable line spacing and adequate measure; for short labels, check that the size and spacing preserve clarity in both scripts.

Pairing guidance: Pair Alkalami with a neutral sans serif when you need clearer hierarchy for navigation, captions, buttons, or utility text. A restrained display face can also provide contrast for titles, provided it does not compete with the serif texture. When mixing Arabic and Latin content, favor companions with balanced proportions and a calm, unobtrusive appearance.
