HT Baybars Now
Baybars Now is the latest update to our original Baybars typeface, first released in 2021.
This version introduces refined structure, improved proportions, and new calligraphic kashida features that bring it closer to the spirit of traditional calligraphy — while keeping it functional and robust for modern digital use.
We’ve also added a set of new stylistic sets, blending Mamluk elegance with Ottoman spirit, resulting in a hybrid style that feels both rooted and contemporary.
Baybars has long been a signature typeface in the HadiType collection.
Now, Baybars Now is released in a single weight, ideal for impactful headlines and short paragraphs — a confident voice for modern Arabic typography.
