Author's note

B Elm by Borna Rayaneh is a free Arabic-inspired digital display font defined by segmented strokes that break each letter into sharp, modular pieces. The repeated cut-ins and squared joints give the lettering a coded, almost signal-like rhythm that feels closer to a custom display readout than standard typography.

That structured fragmentation lends itself to tech branding, experimental posters, UI-inspired graphics, music visuals, and gaming overlays where a mechanical tone helps set the mood. B Elm can anchor short headlines, title cards, or logo concepts, especially where a free font with a distinctly digital edge helps the text feel constructed rather than written.
