Cairo
Google Fonts · Khaled Hosny · 2016
A well-crafted bilingual humanist sans that achieves genuine harmony between Arabic and Latin scripts.
About
Cairo is one of the more successful attempts at a unified Arabic–Latin type family on Google Fonts, with both scripts sharing similar optical weight and proportional logic. Its broad weight range from ExtraLight to Black makes it a genuinely versatile workhorse for digital products, editorial layouts, and branding that must function across Arabic and Latin-script languages. The clean, neutral forms ensure it does not call undue attention to itself in text settings.
Classification
Cairo is a contemporary humanist sans-serif designed for Arabic and Latin scripts, with carefully harmonised proportions between the two writing systems. The Arabic component follows Naskh conventions while the Latin is clean and modern.
