Author's note

B Shiraz by Borna Rayaneh is a free Arabic calligraphic font with a soft, handwritten sweep. The letters lean into a compact, flowing rhythm, mixing rounded bowls and tapering strokes that give the line a lyrical Shiraz-style warmth rather than a rigid, formal texture.

It fits naturally in cultural posters, book covers, packaging, restaurant branding, and short editorial headings where a free font needs a more personal Arabic voice. Use it for title cards, invitations, or logo-style wordmarks when you want connected movement and a slightly poetic tone instead of strict geometric regularity.
