## About Mirza

Mirza is a text typeface for the Arabic script, built on Naskh and intended for body copy. The official description says the design tries to respect Arabic and Persian aesthetic rules, using ligatures to do so, and that a Latin was drawn in harmony with the Arabic for multilingual work. In the specimen that Latin is a low-contrast face whose stems flare slightly towards their ends instead of carrying full serifs; the dot on i and j is a diamond, echoing the pen-cut dots of Arabic writing, and the y and g end in flat, calligraphic tails. There are four static weights: Regular, Medium, SemiBold and Bold. No italic is included. The font holds 1,143 glyphs. The font files credit Kourosh Beigpour for the Arabic, Eduardo Tunni for the Latin and Lasse Fister for engineering; KB Studio leads the project.

## Where it works

- **Arabic and Persian body text**: A Naskh-based design with ligatures is the conventional choice for continuous reading in the Arabic script.
- **Bilingual publications**: The Latin was drawn to harmonise with the Arabic, so paragraphs in each script share weight and colour.
- **Headings and emphasis**: Four weights from Regular 400 to Bold 700 give subheads and strong text without leaving the family.
- **Websites with Arabic and Latin content**: One family with Arabic, Latin and Latin Extended sets covers navigation and articles in two scripts.
- **Reports and academic papers**: Medium and SemiBold offer intermediate steps for captions, table heads and footnote markers.

## Things to know

- **No italic**: Mirza has four upright weights. Italic is not part of the family.
- **Static files**: Each weight is a separate TTF; Mirza is not a variable font.
- **Latin is a companion**: The Latin was designed to match the Arabic, and its flared, diamond-dotted letters differ from a neutral book face.
