Author's note

Riwaj is a free Arabic display font with a dense, calligraphic rhythm. The letters feel compact and flowing, with rounded bowls, deep curves, and pointed joins that give the script a traditional handwritten flavor rather than a neutral digital one.

It suits identity work and short text where that rooted Arabic character matters - packaging, cultural posters, restaurant branding, book covers, and title cards all make sense for this free font. Use it where the lettering can carry atmosphere on its own, especially in logos or short headlines that benefit from its connected, ink-like movement.
