Greta Text Arabic Font Family

Greta Arabic is a modern Arabic newspaper typeface, carefully sculpted in the spirit of the Naskhi calligraphic style, the most legible and suitable Arabic style for running text. Intended as a companion to Greta Text, it translates the principles of Greta into the Arabic script and writing system. Greta Arabic is sharp and crisp, serious and clear.

It is optimised for newspaper setting thanks to its generous counters, relatively short ascenders and descenders, fairly high stroke contrast and use of shapes familiar to its intended audience. It sits comfortably on the baseline, deftly guiding the eye, and is thus well suited to kashida justification, a vital requirement for newspaper setting.

Just like its Latin counterpart, Greta Arabic enjoys a strong character in small sizes, but is also quite useful at display sizes.
