Neo Sans Arabic

About Neo Sans Arabic Font

"The branding agency's client wanted an ""ultra modern"" typeface that was ""futuristic without being gimmicky or ephemeral,"" according to the design brief. Designer Sebastian Lester took on this intriguing custom font assignment, but soon, a bureaucratic decision cancelled the project. Lester's research confirmed that the principal ingredient of an ""ultra modern"" typeface was simplicity of character structure: a carefully drawn, monoline form, open letter shapes and smooth, strong curves. To conceive a typeface that crossed the line from modern to futuristic, Lester decided to amplify these qualities. In 2010, Patrick Giasson extended this family with an Arabic companion that brings to the Arabic script the same design brief as the Latin. The Arabic and Latin parts are fully compatible and can be used together seamlessly in multilingual projects. Both the Neo Sans Arabic and the more-minimalist Neo Tech Arabic families are available in six weights, ranging from Light to Ultra. Each has a companion italic, and Neo Tech offers a suite of alternate characters. While engineered to look modern as tomorrow, Neo Sans and Neo Tech display the functional and aesthetic excellence that earns them a place in the list of classic designs from the Monotype typeface library."

Styles in this family: Arabic, Arabic Regular, Black, Bold, Light, Medium +1 more. Preview each weight on this page, then download the complete Neo Sans Arabic package.
