Author's note

B Baran Outline Italic, by Borna Rayaneh, is a free Arabic outline display font with a quick, slanted calligraphic feel. The letters read as bold silhouettes traced by a narrow inner line, so the style feels more drawn than engineered, with compact forms and a lively forward pull.

It fits graphics that need a distinctly Arabic voice in posters, music packaging, storefront signs, title cards, and short branding marks, where that outlined treatment can carry the message without much text. As a free font, it also makes sense for cover lines, logo sketches, and brief headings that benefit from its brisk motion and inked, hand-shaped character.
