About Vazirmatn
Vazirmatn is the workhorse of the Persian web — a simple, legible Persian and Arabic sans that Saber Rastikerdar started in 2015 under the name Vazir, aimed at web pages and applications. Its Latin comes from Roboto, so mixed Persian and English text sits together naturally.
The design is plain on purpose: open shapes, even strokes and steady spacing that hold up at small sizes on screen. It ships as a single variable file from Thin to Black.
Use it for interfaces, articles and documentation in Persian. It also covers Arabic and Urdu letters, though Urdu readers will usually prefer a Nastaliq for literary text.
