Author's note

B Yekan, by Borna Rayaneh, is a free modern Arabic sans font with a calm, contemporary tone. The letters look compact and smooth, with rounded movement and an even weight that gives the script a practical, urban feel rather than a calligraphic one.

That makes it a natural fit for interface labels, packaging, editorial subheads, posters, and wayfinding where you want Arabic text to feel current and straightforward. As a free font, it also works well for title lines and short branding pieces, since the restrained curves keep the script neat and composed in larger settings.
