Author's note

AE Rehan is a free traditional serif font by Arabeyes, shaped by broad curves, pronounced serifs, and a calm, upright rhythm. Its contrast between fine cross-strokes and firmer verticals gives the letters a literary tone, while the tall forms create a stately page presence.

That measured character brings authority to editorial mastheads and book covers without feeling severe. As a free font, it can also anchor cultural posters, exhibition graphics, and institutional identities, where its generous proportions pair comfortably with historical imagery, formal layouts, or restrained ornament.
