Author's note

B Ferdosi, by Borna Rayaneh, is a free Arabic calligraphic font with a compact, flowing rhythm and a distinctly traditional Persian tone. The letters feel brush-led rather than geometric, with soft curves, tapered joins, and a slightly handwritten movement that keeps the line lively without becoming ornamental.

It suits book jackets, cultural posters, poetry titles, museum graphics, and editorial headings where that classical mood matters more than neutrality. As a free font, it also makes sense for short title cards, packaging names, and identity marks that need an Arabic script voice with warmth and a literary, heritage-leaning character.
