About Marhey

Marhey is a display typeface based on custom hand lettering. Its strokes swell and thin as if made with a soft brush pen: in the specimen the stems of M and A flare outward at the foot, bowls are slightly lopsided, and the w is drawn as two round cups. That contrast grows with weight, from a wiry Light to a dense Bold. The family is a variable font with one axis, weight, running from 300 to 700, and five named instances: Light, Regular, Medium, SemiBold and Bold. An italic is not part of the family. Its 1,209 glyphs span the Latin, Latin Extended and Arabic subsets, so a heading can mix both scripts in the same hand. Nur Syamsi and Bustanul Arifin are the designers, the name table lists Namelatype as manufacturer, and the license is the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

Where Marhey works

Bilingual Latin and Arabic headings

Both scripts are drawn in the same hand-lettered style, which keeps a two-script title visually consistent.

Children's content

Lopsided bowls and flared stems give story titles and classroom posters an informal voice.

Social media graphics

Bold 700 holds up over photographs, and the weight axis allows a lighter line beneath it.

Food and craft packaging

Brush-like contrast suggests hand-written labelling on a jar, box or tag.

Animated titles

Because weight is a continuous axis from 300 to 700, a title can thicken or thin smoothly in motion.
