| Description | “Alfarooq” is the most widely known epithet for the Islamic figure Umar ibn al-Khattab (c. 586 - 644) who was a leading companion and an adviser to the Islamic prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) who later became the second Muslim Caliph after Muhammad's death (pbuh) in 632. Muslims widely know Umar ibn Al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) as Alfarooq (i.e., he who knows and distinguishes between truth and falsehood). "Alfarooq" is a unique, wide, and headline Arabic display typeface. The main trait of this typeface is the novel design of its letters’ tails and its dots which renders it as one of the modern stylish typefaces used for headlines and titles. This is can be noticed in different letters such as “Ain”, “Ghain”, “Jeem”, “Khah”, “Seen”, “Sheen”, and others. In addition, “Alfarooq” font has an Arabic character set which supports Arabic, Persian, and Urdu letters and numerals with a limited range of specific Arabic ligatures. This font comes in just one ultra-bold weight with nearly 400 distinctive glyphs. “Alfarooq” typeface effectively offers diverse typographic and digital usages including mainly the very large and wide poster-size works. Due to its strong baseline-stroke, “Alfarooq” typeface is appropriate for heading and titling works in Arabic, Persian, and Urdu newspapers, magazines, and other printed materials. It is also elegantly suitable for signs, books’ covers, advertisement light boards, streets’ and cities’ names, products’ and services’ names, and titles of flyers, pamphlets, and posters. The wide style of “Alfarooq” font’s characters gives it more distinction when it is used in greeting cards, covers, exhibitions’ signboards, external or internal walls of malls, and also the exits and entrances of airports and halls. |
