About Lalezar
Lalezar is a loud, joyful display face built on the lettering of Iranian film posters from the 1960s and 70s — the era of Film-Farsi, a popular cinema of romances, musicals and larger-than-life heroes. Borna Izadpanah turned that hand-painted style into a modern Arabic-script typeface with a matching Latin.
The letters are fat, bouncy and tightly packed, made to shout from a wall. It is excellent for posters, packaging, event branding and anything retro or playful.
It is a single weight and strictly a display face — set it big and keep the text short. It covers Persian, Arabic and Urdu letters.
