Author's note

AE Hani, by Arabeyes, is a free serif font with broad, squared serifs and softly rounded letterforms. Its firm vertical strokes meet open, generous curves, creating a measured character that feels both traditional and direct.

That balance of sturdy structure and approachable rhythm gives editorial mastheads and cultural journals a grounded voice. This free font can also shape museum graphics, literary posters, book covers, and heritage-focused identities, where its restrained serif detailing can sit comfortably beside archival photography or contemporary illustration.
