Shahrzad
Shahrzad is a typeface designed around the structural principles of Naskh script. Its letterforms draw inspiration from the logic and readability of traditional Naskh, while being reinterpreted through a contemporary lens to ensure smooth and reliable performance across both digital and print applications.
What distinguishes Shahrzad is its use of rounded, soft, and fluid forms. Curved shapes take precedence over straight lines, creating a greater emphasis on circular forms and enclosed spaces while preserving the readability of Naskh. This gives the typeface a warm, friendly, sweet, and inviting personality. The soft, continuous rhythm of its letterforms brings a greater sense of flow and harmony to the text.
Despite its emphasis on curves and softness, Shahrzad never compromises on readability. Carefully balanced letter proportions and close attention to structural details allow the typeface to perform beautifully across a range of sizes. Shahrzad is an ideal choice for branding, user interfaces, digital products, and any context where visual appeal and readability need to coexist.
