Droid Naskh

The Arabic letters were designed by Pascal Zoghbi while the Latin Letters were designed by Steve Matteson from AscenderCorp.

Droid Naskh covers all the basic and extended Arabic glyphs set to cover all the languages that use the Arabic script like Persian, Urdu, Pashto and others.

The large ‘loop height’ and ‘tooth height’ help prevent readers from having to zoom web pages to a larger size in order to read them. The traditional Naskh forms are softened for less formal documents such as periodicals and journals. The letterforms structures are based on the calligraphic grammatical rules of the Naskh writing style while drawn with a contemporary feel.

The current mobile/web versions of the fonts have very short descenders to meet up with the technological limitations on the mobile and web platforms. The descenders of the Arabic letters "Ha'" & "Ain" are slightly shorter then the traditional calligraphic proportions, which might make them look un-proportional with the large open-counter base glyphs. A print version of the fonts is being developed at the moment with more calligraphic proportional ascender and descender heights. The Latin counterpart Droid Serif will be incorporated within the fonts to allow bi-script typesetting.
