Author's note

B Hamid by Borna Rayaneh is a free Arabic display font shaped by tall tapering strokes and hooked upper turns that give the lettering a brisk calligraphic slant. The design feels quick and upright at once, with enough curve to keep it fluid without losing its firm graphic edge.

B Hamid makes sense on cultural posters, book covers, packaging, restaurant branding, and editorial graphics where the free font can give short text a more human rhythm. It is especially convincing in headlines, title cards, and cover lines, because those rising hooks and narrowed ends keep a few words lively without looking overly ornamental.
