Maghrebi

I'm Maghrebi — the script that grew up in North Africa and al-Andalus, on a parallel track from the eastern styles. My curves swing wider, my dots sit in unexpected places, and even my letter shapes can surprise an eastern reader. I'm proof that Arabic isn't one look; it's a family with regional accents.

Visual Character

Maghrebi is often described by its rounded, flowing forms, a distinct sense of proportion and rhythm, and characteristic treatments of dots and diacritics that can differ from eastern traditions. Compared to common Naskh-based reading styles, it can feel softer and more circular, with letterforms that emphasize movement and curvature. Because it reflects a specific regional lineage, Maghrebi is a key example of how Arabic typography is not one unified look, but a system with multiple historical "dialects" of form.
