Amiri Italic is a classical Arabic typeface in the Naskh style, meticulously crafted for typesetting books and long-form running text. It serves as a digital revival of the historic typeface pioneered by the Bulaq Press in Cairo in 1914, which was a landmark achievement in the history of Arabic printing as the first font designed by Egyptians for book production.
The Amiri project aims to capture the unique spirit and elegant proportions of the original Bulaq typeface while meeting the technical requirements of modern digital typography. The Italic variant provides a graceful, slanted aesthetic that adheres to traditional calligraphic principles, ensuring that the beauty of classical Arabic scripts remains accessible for contemporary web and print designers.
