Author's note

Khayal by Mostafa El Abasiry is a free Arabic display font with compact, flowing forms. Its letters gather into a dark, continuous line, shaped by rounded turns and firm upright strokes. The finish is crisp and controlled.

Arabic cultural and literary themes make it a fitting voice for book covers, festival posters, and music artwork. The sweeping connections can echo ornamental borders or illustrated linework, letting the lettering become part of the decorative motif rather than a separate caption.
