Author's note

Farsi by Farhad Abdolian of Seema Consulting is a free Arabic display font with a broad, emphatic silhouette. Deep horizontal sweeps meet sharply tapered uprights, producing strong shifts between thick and thin strokes. Diamond-shaped dots echo the angular cuts at the tops of the letters.

A Persian restaurant or cultural venue could use it to establish a formal, theatrical identity. Its generous curves also suit festival posters, book covers, and music packaging centered on Persian-language content. The repeated diamonds can connect the lettering to geometric borders or patterned illustration, turning the type into part of the decorative scheme.
