Author's note

AE Khalid, by Arabeyes, is a free high-contrast serif font with a stately, bookish tone. Broad curves meet sturdy vertical strokes, while crisp, substantial serifs give the letters an assured and slightly formal rhythm.

Its generous shapes suit editorial mastheads, cultural posters, book covers, exhibition titles, and short pull quotes. This free font works best where a few words can occupy plenty of space, allowing its sweeping curves and decisive serif details to carry the composition.
