About Tajawal
Tajawal is a low-contrast geometric Arabic and Latin family from Boutros, a foundry known for Arabic corporate type, in seven weights from Extra Light to Black.
It modernises the Arabic without breaking calligraphic rules: the letters are built from even strokes and simple curves, so they sit comfortably beside Latin sans serifs in bilingual layouts — packaging, signage, apps and presentations.
One limitation to know: Tajawal covers Arabic but not the extra letters Persian and Urdu need, such as گ and ٹ. For those languages, pick Vazirmatn or one of the Urdu faces instead.
