HT Elias
Elegant and confident, HT Elias is a bold Arabic display typeface by Hadi Type Foundry, blending heritage with modern precision.Inspired by the Nishabouri Kufic manuscript, it revives the sharp vertical rhythm and strong geometric balance of that early calligraphic style.Designed for impactful headlines, posters, and brand identities, Elyas reduces excessive white space to form compact, architectural word blocks. Through reversed contrast, most of the weight shifts to the upper and lower tarwees, creating a distinctive rhythm that feels sculpted rather than written.Available in six weights — from Thin to Heavy — offering flexibility across expressive display settings and refined typographic compositions.HT Elyas — Where Kufic heritage meets contemporary clarity.
