Amiri

Amiri is a classical Arabic-style serif typeface designed by Khaled Hosny, drawing on the Naskh calligraphic tradition while being fully functional for Latin text as well. Its letterforms are elegant but grounded, with moderate contrast between thick and thin strokes, refined serifs, and a slightly condensed structure that gives it a dignified, literary feel. It reads as authoritative and cultured without being stiff, carrying the weight of traditional book typography while remaining legible at a range of sizes.

Amiri works well in academic and scholarly publishing where a serious, readable serif is needed for long-form text. It is a strong choice for cultural institutions, museums, or organizations with Middle Eastern or Islamic heritage that need a typeface reflecting that visual tradition with authenticity. It also suits editorial design for magazines or journals that want a classical typographic voice without defaulting to overused options like Times New Roman or Garamond.
