Author's note

Samda is a free Arabic display font with a compact, calligraphic feel. The letters look built from bold, tapering strokes and rounded turns, giving the script a dense rhythm that feels closer to hand-drawn signage than neutral text.

It fits branding, poster titles, packaging, music artwork, and short cultural event graphics where the script itself carries the mood. As a free font, Samda makes most sense in logos, cover lines, title cards, and other brief display settings, because the heavy curves and tight silhouettes give even a few letters a strong presence.
