From the foundry
Masaq is a contemporary reinterpretation of Nastaliq rhythm, designed with a simpler and clearer structure, moving away from traditional calligraphic detailing. It retains the flowing connections and distinctive horizontal extensions of Nastaliq, but rebuilds them with fuller shapes, direct terminals, and more uniform stroke weights, offering a contemporary Arabic character that blends the flexibility of calligraphic scripts with the clarity of sans-serif letterforms.
