Reem Kufi

Reem Kufi is a display face in the old Kufic style — the angular script of early Qur'an manuscripts — drawn by Khaled Hosny on the geometric grid of Fatimid Kufic and based on the work of the twentieth-century calligrapher Mohammed Abdul Qadir. Santiago Orozco drew the matching Latin.

Its squared, stately letters immediately read as historical, which makes it useful for titles, heritage signage, book covers and anything with a sense of occasion.

It is a headline face, not a text face. Set it large and short, and pair it with a quiet Naskh such as Amiri or a sans such as Cairo for anything longer than a line.
