IranYekan
A geometric sans-serif with a touch of Naskh.
The first version of the Iran Yekan typeface was published in 2016. At the time, 'Yekan' and 'Iran Sans' were the two primary choices for UI design, leading to a noticeable demand for a new typeface in the field. So, Moslem Ebrahimi decided to design a fresh yet familiar typeface inspired by those two beloved fonts.
In the design of Iran Yekan, a touch of curvature has been introduced to the geometric structure of the 'Yekan' typeface, bringing letterforms closer to the familiar Naskh style. The result is a hybrid that combines modern proportions with a geometric appearance.
The 'Iran Yekan' typeface is easy on the eyes and highly readable due to its friendly curves and letterforms that are close to Naskh, making it an ideal choice for fine and longer texts, especially optimal for readability on screens
