Gohar is a monoline, handwritten typeface designed by Mostafa Oji. He is one of Iran's pioneering type designers to have studied type design academically. Mostafa Oji has taught type design at the University of Art in Tehran for many years and has designed numerous Persian and Arabic typefaces.

Gohar features a compact, condensed structure, allowing it to create cohesive and tightly arranged lines of text. Despite the free-flowing nature of the pen strokes, the letterforms maintain a controlled and well-defined appearance.

In its latest version, Gohar is available in 9 weights, ranging from Thin to Black. It also includes a Variable Font version, allowing users to adjust weight and dot styles, providing greater control over text hierarchy and typographic organization.
