About Amiri Quran Fonts

Amiri (أميري) is a classical Arabic typeface in Naskh style for typesetting books and other running text.

Amiri is a revival of the beautiful typeface pioneered in early 20th century by Bulaq Press in Cairo, also known as Amiria Press, after which the font is named.

The uniqueness of this typeface comes from its superb balance between the beauty of Naskh calligraphy on one hand, the constraints and requirements of elegant typography on the other. Also, it is one of the few metal typefaces that were used in typesetting the Koran, making it a good source for a digital typeface to be used in typesetting Koranic verses.

Amiri project aims at the revival of the aesthetics and traditions of Arabic typesetting, and adapting it to the era of digital typesetting, in a publicly available form.

الخط الأميري خط نسخي موجه لطباعة الكتب و النصوص الطويلة.

الخط الأميري هو إحياء و محاكاة للخط الطباعي الجميل الذي تميزت به مطبعة بولاق منذ أوائل القرن العشرين، و التي عرفت أيضا بالمطبعة الأميرية، و من هنا أخذ الخط اسمه.

يتميز خط المطابع الأميرية بجماليته و مراعاته لفن الخط العربي، بأسلوب نسخي جميل، و في ذات الوقت يراعى متطلبات الطباعة و القيود التي تفرضها، من غير إفراط في جانب على حساب الآخر. و لهذا يتميز بمناسبته للصف الطباعي عموما، و لصف الكتب خصوصا. و قد النصوص القرآنية.

يهدف مشروع الخط الأميري إلى إحياء تقاليد و جماليات الطباعة العربية و موائمتها لتقنيات عصر الحواسيب، مع إتاحتها للعموم.
