About Zarafshan

Zarafshan is a calligraphic display font. It is named after the river that runs past Samarkand, and it brings the rhythm of Persian calligraphy to the Latin alphabet: generous curves and an easy, flowing line give a single word the mood of an old tale. Set it large on book covers, posters, labels and menus.
