Author's note

Arabic Kufi SSK, credited to Southern Software, is a free geometric Kufic Arabic font with a low horizontal silhouette and broad curved forms. Round dots punctuate the angular joins and squared uprights.

It can turn lettering into an architectural band for cultural branding and exhibition signage. The firm geometry also suits book covers and event posters focused on Arabic art or history. Its strongest use is in display settings where the baseline becomes a border or frame.
