The word Zawiya in Arabic language means Angle in English language. ‘Zawiya‘ is a Kufic modern square-shaped Arabic typeface. The typeface has only right-angled angles which makes it full of open and closed squares and free from any curves or arches. This font comes in two different weights.
I am originally an engineer and I have liked to draw geometric shapes since my early childhood. I decided to design a typeface that embodies both of the technical and artistic human that I have inside me.
The main characteristic of ‘Zawiya‘ Typeface is in its modern and attractive right-angled and square-shaped styles for its all-Arabic characters. The character ‘Faa’ is one of its most distinguished characters that I myself adore it so much.

It is advisable to use the font in fields related to sciences such as geometry, mathematics, physics, chemistry, astronomy, industry, economy, and other fields. It can also decorate surfaces of calculators, geometric tools, rulers, pens, computers, cars, ships, trucks, and other related electric and electronic devices. It is sharp design qualifies it to be printed in public signs in streets, airports, hospitals, schools, malls, hotels, mosques, and other public places.
