Author's note

B Niki Shadow Italic by Borna Rayaneh is a free Arabic display font with slanted, calligraphic lettering and a built-in shadow that gives the strokes a carved, layered look. The forms feel brisk and ornamental, mixing pointed turns with dense shapes so the font carries a distinctly headline-minded voice.

It fits posters, music packaging, restaurant branding, cultural event graphics, title cards, and short cover lines where the shadowed letters can do more of the visual work on their own. As a free font, it makes the most sense in brief display settings and monograms, where that angled silhouette and stacked depth can create atmosphere fast.
