About the Calligraphy Styles
Naskh
بسم
Amiri — Classical Naskh
The most widely used Arabic script style, developed in the 10th century. Used in the Quran and most printed Arabic books. Known for its clarity and balance.
Kufic
بسم
Reem Kufi — Geometric Kufic
One of the oldest Arabic scripts, originating in Kufa, Iraq. Features angular, geometric letterforms. Widely used in early Quranic manuscripts and Islamic architecture.
Nastaliq
بسم
Mirza & Gulzar — Nastaliq
A flowing, cursive style developed in Persia where letters hang from a diagonal baseline. Favored for Persian and Urdu poetry — Gulzar is the classic Urdu Nastaliq, Mirza the Persian.
Ruq'ah
بسم
Aref Ruq'ah — Handwritten Style
A simplified, practical style used in everyday Arabic handwriting. Fast to write with short strokes. The standard cursive script of educated Arab writers.
Display
بسم
Lalezar & Rakkas — Display
The largest family here — eight decorative faces built for impact rather than reading. Lalezar and Rakkas carry the weight of Iranian and Egyptian poster lettering, Jomhuria is a heavy headline face, and Blaka and Vibes push into pure ornament. Use them large and sparingly: for titles, logos and social posts, never for body text.
Modern
بسم
Cairo — Contemporary Arabic
A modern humanist Arabic typeface designed for digital screens. Clean and readable while maintaining cultural authenticity. Popular in UI design and branding.
Which Arabic Font Should You Use?
Every one of these 28 Arabic fonts is free and web-safe — but each family fits a different job. Here's the quick guide.
Wedding & event invitations
Ruqʿah & Display — Aref Ruqaa, Lalezar, Rakkas for an ornate, hand-lettered feel
Logos & brand marks
Kufic — Reem Kufi, Kufam and El Messiri give the geometric, balanced look agencies use
Quran & religious text
Naskh — Amiri and Scheherazade are the clear, traditional scripts used in printed scripture
Persian & Urdu poetry
Nastaliq — Mirza (Persian) and Gulzar (Urdu) with their flowing diagonal baseline
Social media & gaming names

Websites, apps & documents
Modern — Cairo, Tajawal and Almarai are built for screens and long reading
These are true digital fonts, so the text you generate stays sharp at any size and copies cleanly. For elaborate hand-drawn Thuluth or Diwani artwork — the ornate, interwoven style seen on mosque walls — a designer or AI design tool is still needed; web fonts can't reproduce that by hand-lettering, but they cover every everyday need instantly.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Arabic calligraphy?
Arabic calligraphy is the artistic practice of writing Arabic script in a visually beautiful way. It has been practiced for over 1,400 years and includes major styles such as Naskh, Kufic, Nastaliq, Thuluth, and Ruq'ah. It is considered one of the highest art forms in Islamic culture.
How do I write my name in Arabic calligraphy?
Type or paste your Arabic name in the input field at the top of the page. The live preview updates instantly across all 28 fonts. Filter by family (Naskh, Kufic, Nastaliq…), click the font you like, pick a color theme, then copy it or click Download PNG to save it as a high-quality image.
Are these Arabic fonts free to use commercially?
Yes. Every font on this page comes from Google Fonts and is released under the Open Font License (OFL), which allows free personal and commercial use — logos, invitations, products, videos. You can generate and download your text with no attribution required. If you need the actual font file to install, search the font name on fonts.google.com.
What's the difference between an Arabic font and Arabic calligraphy?
An Arabic font is a digital typeface — every letter is a fixed, reusable shape, so text stays identical and sharp at any size. True calligraphy (خط عربي) is hand-drawn art where the artist adjusts every stroke, overlap and proportion for that one phrase. These 28 fonts are inspired by the classic calligraphic scripts and cover everyday needs instantly; museum-grade Thuluth or Diwani pieces are still hand- or AI-crafted.
What is Diwani script?
Diwani (الخط الديواني) is an ornate, highly cursive style developed in the Ottoman court in the 16th century. Its letters curve, overlap and interlock into dense, decorative compositions, which is why it's a favourite for wedding invitations and official seals. Because that interlocking is drawn by hand per phrase, no standard web font reproduces full Diwani — the closest instant options here are the flowing Ruqʿah and display fonts.
Can I use these fonts on Instagram, WhatsApp or TikTok?
For a bio or caption, copy the text and it pastes as normal Arabic — the platform renders it in its own font, so the calligraphic style won't carry over in plain text. To keep the exact style, use the Download PNG button and post it as an image. That's how designers share Arabic calligraphy names and quotes on social media.
Do the fonts work with tashkeel (diacritics)?
Yes. Type your text with tashkeel (harakat) — fatha, damma, kasra, shadda — and the fonts that support full vocalisation, like Amiri, Scheherazade and Noto Naskh, will place the marks correctly above and below the letters. Simpler display fonts may show them less precisely, so for vocalised Quranic text stick to the Naskh family.
What is the best Arabic font for a logo?
For logos, the Kufic family is the professional default — Reem Kufi, Kufam and El Messiri have the geometric, balanced letterforms that scale cleanly and read at small sizes. For a warmer or more modern brand, Cairo and Tajawal work well. Avoid highly ornamental display fonts for a primary logomark; save those for headlines and decoration.
Why does the same font look different on my phone?
The preview loads real web fonts, so while they download you may briefly see a fallback system font — then it swaps to the correct one. If a font ever looks plain, give it a second on a slower connection, or refresh. The Download PNG always bakes in the correct font, so your saved image is never affected.
Can I download the Arabic font files?
This tool generates and downloads your text as a PNG image rather than the font file itself. To install a font on your computer or in design software, search its name (for example "Amiri" or "Cairo") on fonts.google.com and download it free from there — then it's available in Photoshop, Illustrator, Canva, Word and any other app.
What is the difference between Naskh and Nastaliq?
Naskh is a clear, readable style used in printed books and the Quran — the most common style in the Arab world. Nastaliq is a more flowing, cursive style where letters hang from a baseline with a distinctive diagonal flow, widely used in Persian and Urdu poetry and manuscripts.
What is Kufic calligraphy?
Kufic is one of the oldest Arabic calligraphy styles, originating in the city of Kufa, Iraq, in the 7th century. It features angular, geometric letterforms and was widely used in early Quranic manuscripts and Islamic architecture. Today it is popular in logos, tiles, and decorative art.
Can I download my Arabic calligraphy as an image?
Yes. Pick your style and color, then open the Download menu — PNG for sharing, SVG or PDF for print and design work. The vector exports keep every letter as a true outline, so it stays sharp at any size. The ornamental frame is included either way.
