Author's note

AE Nagham, by Arabeyes, is a free high-contrast serif font with a distinctly calligraphic rhythm. Broad, rounded forms meet sharp finishing strokes, while the strong shifts between thick and thin lines give the lettering an elegant but assertive presence.

This free font fits editorial mastheads, literary covers, cultural posters, arts programs, and title cards where a few large words can carry the composition. It also works well for short headlines or monograms, since the sweeping curves and crisp serifs create interest without relying on extra ornament.
