Tajawal

Boutros Fonts, Mourad Boutros, Soulaf Khalifeh · Boutros Fonts · 2017 · OFL-1.1

Where Amiri is a book face, Tajawal is a screen one: the Arabic is simplified towards the geometric, the strokes are close to even in weight, and the whole thing is built to survive being set small in an interface. Seven weights and no italic, which is the right decision for a script that does not have one. Its character set is Arabic and plain Latin only, with no Turkish and none of the Cyrillic or Greek that a European sans of this size would carry.

Use Tajawal on the web

Self-hosted

You serve the file yourself. Nothing depends on this site staying up, and you get the whole character set — all Latin, Latin Extended, Arabic. The file is tajawal.woff2, the same one the WOFF2 button above gives you.

@font-face {
  font-family: 'Tajawal';
  /* Take the WOFF2 button above, put tajawal.woff2 wherever
     you serve static files from, and point this at it. */
  src: url('/fonts/tajawal.woff2') format('woff2');
  font-weight: 200;
  font-style: normal;
  font-display: swap;
}

body {
  font-family: 'Tajawal', sans-serif;
}

Hosted by us

One line, nothing to upload. Put this in your <head>:

<link rel="preconnect" href="https://thatsmyfont.com">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://thatsmyfont.com/fontfiles/tajawal.css">

Then use it in your CSS:

body {
  font-family: 'Tajawal', sans-serif;
}

One thing to know: the file we host is cut down to Latin characters so pages load quickly. Tajawal also covers Arabic, and for those you need the download and the self-hosted route.

Questions

Is Tajawal free for commercial use?
Yes. Tajawal is released under the SIL Open Font License 1.1, which allows commercial use with no fee and no attribution requirement. You can use it in client work, in products you sell, on the web and in print. The one thing you may not do is sell the font file on its own. The licence is inside the download.
Can I use Tajawal in a logo?
Yes. The licence covers the font software, not the artwork you make with it, so a logo set in Tajawal belongs to you — including if you later register it as a trademark. You do not need permission and you do not owe anything to Boutros Fonts, Mourad Boutros, Soulaf Khalifeh. What the licence stops you doing is redistributing the font file itself as a product.
How do I install Tajawal?
Download the zip and unzip it. On a Mac, select the 7 font files inside and open them, then press Install Font. On Windows, select them, right-click and choose Install. Restart any application that was already open before it will show up.
Does Tajawal support Turkish?
No. Tajawal covers Latin, but not the extra characters Türkçe needs — the dotless ı, the dotted İ, and ğ and ş. Text set in it would come out with missing or wrong letters.
What languages does Tajawal support?
Tajawal covers Latin, Latin Extended and Arabic, across 465 glyphs. Anything outside those alphabets is not included — the character map further up this page shows exactly what you get.
What weights does Tajawal come in?
Tajawal comes in 7 weights: Extra Light (200), Light (300), Regular (400), Medium (500), Bold (700), Extra Bold (800) and Black (900). Each weight is its own file in the download.
Is there a smaller, Latin-only version of Tajawal?
Yes — the "WOFF2 · Latin only" button on this page. It is 10 KB against 20 KB for the complete file, 49% smaller, with every weight the family has still in it. It covers Latin and Latin Extended, which is everything a page in English, Turkish or a western European language sets — Türkçe included, since ı, İ, ğ and ş all live in that range. Take the complete file instead if you set Cyrillic, Greek or any alphabet outside Latin.
Where can I download Tajawal as WOFF2?
From the WOFF2 button on this page — the file is tajawal.woff2, and it is about 20 KB. It is the complete font repacked for the web rather than a cut-down copy: the same glyphs, the same spacing and the same hinting as the .ttf in the download, roughly 60% smaller. Every browser still receiving updates reads WOFF2, so it is the only web format most sites need. Google Fonts does not offer this file for download at all — it serves WOFF2 from its own servers and gives you .ttf if you ask for the family.
