About the Arabic writing system
The Arabic subset covers the right-to-left Arabic script as used across the Arabic-speaking world. A serious Arabic typeface is not a glyph-mapping exercise — it is a substantial second design alongside the Latin, with its own stroke logic, contextual letter forms, and cultural weight. Typefaces in the catalog that ship Arabic have done meaningful design work to earn the subset.
The catalog above lists every open-source typeface in the TypeCraft directory that ships the Arabic subset in its font files. The full list runs to 54 families, sorted by catalog popularity. Every entry links to a complete font detail page with weight specimens, designer credit, license, full subset coverage, and copy-paste CSS embed code.
If you are designing for a project that needs Arabic support, this is the right entry point into the catalog — but the work does not end here. Set the typeface in your real copy at your real reading sizes before you commit, and check that the typeface's Arabic design has the same care and craft as its Latin counterpart. The two designs are usually drawn separately, and the quality of one is not always a guarantee of the quality of the other.
