About This Font
Palsam Arabic: A Humanist Cursive and Naskh Pairing
Palsam Arabic is a sophisticated, bilingual typeface that blends a contemporary Naskh upright text face with a unique, calligraphic Ijaza cursive companion. Characterized by its inviting, approachable, and fashionable humanist aesthetic, the design features low contrast, open apertures, and smooth counters that ensure exceptional legibility even at smaller point sizes. The visual style is further enriched by detailed calligraphic strokes that reflect a deep understanding of traditional Arabic script nuances while maintaining a modern editorial sensibility. This authentic bilingual experience was achieved through a decade of simultaneous design refinement, allowing the Latin and Arabic scripts to influence and enhance one another for a truly cohesive typographic identity.
This versatile family is perfectly suited for high-end magazine layouts, digital editorial content, and complex web interfaces where both scripts must coexist harmoniously. The inclusion of a true cursive companion, modeled after the hyper-combination of Naskh and Thuluth known as Ijaza, allows designers to add emphasis, highlight specific content, or create elegant marginalia reminiscent of historical manuscripts. Whether setting body text or crafting striking headlines, Palsam provides the necessary flexibility to handle complex information with grace and precision. It serves as an essential tool for designers aiming to bring authentic cultural depth and visual rhythm to contemporary Arabic and bilingual projects.

Questions
Is it really free?
Yes. No account, no watermark and no export limit. The tool runs in your browser, so your text never leaves your device.
Will the SVG work in Cricut Design Space?
Yes — the export is a true vector path, not an image traced into one, so it uploads and cuts cleanly. The same file opens in Silhouette Studio, Illustrator, Inkscape and Figma.
Can I sell what I make?
That depends on the font, not on the tool — each font page states its licence. Many are free for personal use with a commercial licence available from the original designer, and the licence line links straight to the source.
Do I need to install the font first?
No. The font loads in the page, so you can set your text and export without installing anything. You can still download the font file separately if you want it on your system.
