Author's note

B Zar by Borna Rayaneh is a free Arabic font with a calligraphic, newspaper-title feel. The letters look brisk and compact, with dark flowing strokes, pointed joins, and a steady rhythm that gives the script a formal but lived-in voice rather than a polished ceremonial one.

That makes it a natural choice for editorial mastheads, book covers, cultural posters, packaging, and short branding lines where the script itself carries the tone. As a free font, B Zar also suits title cards, section headers, and other brief display settings, especially when you want Arabic lettering that feels rooted in everyday print culture instead of ornamental excess.
