The design and development journey of Pesteh continues to evolve!
Variable Font Feature | Weight
Pesteh comes in 7 different weights, ranging from Thin to Heavy. This variety allows you to find the perfect choice for any context, from everyday body text to bold and striking headlines.
Light weights are ideal for smooth and highly readable text, while heavier weights add strength and character to your design. This flexibility lets designers achieve a wide range of results using only Pesteh, without the need for other fonts.
Variable Font Feature | Slant
The Slant axis is one of Pesteh’s most unique and innovative features, introduced for the first time in a Persian typeface. Inspired by the structure of traditional Iranian calligraphy, it gives the letters a dynamic, fluid, and energetic feel.
By adjusting the angle of the characters, you can create expressive and lively typography with a fresh rhythm. Slant adds a modern and vibrant look, especially in headlines and graphic compositions, unlike anything most Persian fonts can offer.
Variable Font Feature | Rounded
The Rounded axis brings a softer soul to Pesteh, transforming sharp and rigid forms into smooth and flowing ones. This feature helps you create more approachable, friendly, and human-centered typography.
In branding, advertising, or cultural design projects, Rounded can communicate warmth and fluidity. For large headlines or dynamic layouts, it gives the text a fresh and modern character.
Variable Font Feature | Noghteh (Dot)
Pesteh is flexible even in its details. The Noghteh axis allows you to switch between rounded or angular dots, giving your typography different personalities—from soft and friendly to serious and structured. Designers can adapt the dot style to better match the visual tone of their projects.
Ligatures & Alternates
Pesteh supports a rich set of alternates and multi-state ligatures. It includes numerous alternate characters and composite forms, giving you the freedom to display letters in different styles and choose among multiple variations.
To access these characters, go to the OpenType menu in the Typography settings of your software, and enable the desired ligature or stylistic set features.
