Ganjnameh

Ganjnameh is Mohammad Saleh Souzanchi’s modern monoline Persian and Arabic Naskh. The original file identifies itself as GanjNamehSans, while the project describes its design as modern Naskh.

Inspect the page above small interface sizes

The upstream guidance favors print, high-resolution screens or text larger than 12 pixels. Use that as a reason to test a reading page at its real size, not as a universal readability threshold. The visual result also depends on display density, contrast and line length.

One regular weight is supplied. A modest printed handout or an editorial page can expose its monoline rhythm more clearly than a navigation button. Check the Persian and Arabic words that actually occur, including marks and punctuation. The family has no complete Latin alphabet, so bibliographic entries or bilingual labels need a separate Latin companion.

Files, weights and supported scripts

The ZIP contains 1 original TTF file, version 0.0.4, with the license. Available preview weights: 400. The supplied source covers Arabic, Persian. It has no complete Latin alphabet; choose a separate Latin family for mixed-language text.

Compare the intended use

Compare Noto Naskh Arabic for weight choices and Lateef for another Arabic-script reading texture.

For a monoline comparison focused on a small Persian interface panel, try Behdad’s single regular design. Both need separate Latin choices, but compare their actual labels rather than treating a shared stroke approach as matching metrics.
