About Lateef Fonts

Lateef, an extended Arabic font, is named after Shah Abdul Lateef Bhitai, the famous Sindhi mystic and poet. It is intended to be an appropriate style for use in Sindhi and other languages of the South Asian region.

The July 2022 update brings to the font six new styles: ExtraLight, Light, Medium, SemiBold, Bold, and ExtraBold.

This font was developed by SIL, and you can learn more about it at scripts.sil.org/Lateef
