Almarai — Free Arabic Google Font
Almarai was built by Boutros™ specifically for on-screen clarity — its geometric surface hides careful calligraphic structuring underneath, with low-contrast strokes and wide letter apertures that hold up at small sizes. It's a dependable choice anywhere screen legibility matters more than ornamentation.
About Almarai
Named after the Arabic word for "meadow," Almarai was designed by Mourad Boutros specifically for on-screen UI use rather than adapted from print calligraphy — pairs well with Inter or Roboto for bilingual interfaces since both share a similar low-contrast stroke weight.
