Note. Specimen of the typeface Reem Kufi. Copyright by Khaled Hosny, Santiago Orozco.

Reem Kufi is a Kufic typeface based on early Kufic (Mushafi) models, but adapted to the Kufic Fatimid grid and borrowing from its forms. Reem Kufi is largely based on the kufic designs of the late Arabic calligraphy master Mohammed Abdul Qadir, who revived this art in the 20th century and formalized its rules. Reem Kufi is especially suitable for display settings, in titles or decorations. Because of its unmistakable antique Kufic style, it gives a feeling of something ancient, historical or Islamic. The Arabic component was designed by Khaled Hosny, who combined it with the Latin component by Santiago Orozco. Reem is an Arabic female name that literally means "white deer."
