Author's note

B Helal by Borna Rayaneh is a free Arabic display font with a bold, handwritten rhythm. The letters feel compact and flowing, with rounded turns and a slightly brush-drawn weight that gives the script a warm, contemporary headline voice rather than a formal calligraphic stiffness.

It fits naturally in packaging, posters, book covers, cultural event graphics, and short branding lines where the connected shapes can carry the whole mood. As a free font, B Helal is most at home in brief display settings such as title cards, mastheads, or large pull quotes, where its dense curves and lively movement have room to read as image as much as text.
