Nika

Nika is a Persian and Arabic Naskh font by Mohammad Saleh Souzanchi. The project positions it for web, mobile and print; this download supplies its original 1.0.0 regular TTF.

Build the sample around your publication

For a newsletter or a compact reading page, test the actual headings and paragraphs together. A normal weight can carry the body text while size and spacing establish hierarchy. If the publication needs a designed bold, Nika’s single supplied style will require a separate heading family rather than an assumed missing file.

The file contains basic Arabic and Persian letters but no complete Latin alphabet. Include mixed-language references in your specimen and specify their Latin font explicitly. For print, inspect a proof at its final size, especially repeated marks, numbers and narrow line endings. A large preview alone does not establish how a dense page will read.

Files, weights and supported scripts

The ZIP contains 1 original TTF file, version 1.0.0, 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 Amiri for a different editorial texture and Noto Naskh Arabic when several weights need to work together.

If section headings need designed weight changes, try Mirza’s four Naskh weights with matching Latin. Compare a complete Persian–Arabic article and its references rather than manufacturing a bold companion for Nika.

Use the same printed paragraph to compare Farbod’s single Regular cut. Its author recommends print, high-resolution screens or larger sizes; neither its file nor Nika’s should be chosen from a large preview alone.
