Install and use your font

  1. Download the family from Google Fonts and extract the ZIP.
  2. Open the included TTF or OTF font files and choose your system's install option.
  3. Select the family in an application that supports Arabic shaping and right-to-left text.
  4. Check joined letters, dots and vowel marks before exporting or printing.

Check the licence before sharing font files

The listed families use the SIL Open Font License. You can use them in personal and commercial designs. Redistributing or modifying the font software is different from exporting artwork and must follow the licence conditions, including any reserved font names.

Free Arabic font downloads: FAQ

Where can I find Arabic calligraphy fonts for free download?

Use the Google Fonts links on this page. Open a font family, select Get font, then Download all to save its font files. The six listed families are available under the SIL Open Font License.

Can I use these fonts commercially?

The SIL Open Font License permits personal and commercial use, including artwork and documents. Font redistribution and modification have conditions, so keep the licence file and read it before sharing or changing font files.

Is a PNG or SVG download the same as a font download?

No. A font file lets compatible applications typeset new text. PNG and SVG downloads from CalligArab are artwork exports, not installable fonts.

How do I install a downloaded Arabic font?

Extract the downloaded ZIP, open a TTF or OTF file and use your operating system's font installation option. Restart your design application if the family does not appear in its font list.

Why does Arabic text look disconnected in my design application?

Arabic needs contextual letter shaping and right-to-left text support. Use an application with Arabic shaping enabled. A font alone cannot add this support to an application that lacks it.
