Nahr: Arabic Display Typeface
Nahr, meaning "stream/نهر" is a Calligraphic Arabic Display Typeface that is inspired by the coexistence of flow in nature — from the meandering of rivers to the rhythm of handwritten forms. Rooted in Arabic calligraphic tradition, the glyphs were designed to form full sentence structures, exploring how movement, shape, and balance come together on a page while maintaining the organic fluidity inherent in Arabic calligraphy.

Though some joiners and characters are still in development, the type specimens created as part of this project capture the essence and visual direction of the typeface — a study in harmony between natural motion and typographic structure.
