Remarks of the Jury

This typeface family is well-crafted and provides a significant alternative for the local community it serves. It represents a commendable effort and a valuable addition to Arabic script styles from Southeast Asia. This design is particularly notable as a sub-style of Naskh prevalent in the Indian Subcontinent, addressing a critical need for lesser-served languages such as Sindhi and Urdu.
