Explanation
Shilia W23 is an Arabic display typeface which can also be used for text setting, especially in bilingual publications where Arabic and Latin scripts ought to work in harmony. It is useful for titles, signage, documents, and graphic projects where a contemporary, streamlined, and well proportioned look is desired. The font is based on the simple lines of Kufic calligraphy and the uniform, open shapes of its letters give it a structured and geometric, yet friendly and familiar feel. Featuring one of the largest numbers of styles for an Arabic typeface family, Shilia W23s 21 variants make it especially suitable for corporate and governmental applications. Shilia W23 was designed in 1980 by Mamoun Sakkal, but for this first public release by Linotype it was extended and completely redrawn; its extensive OpenType features were programmed by Aida Sakkal. The font has over 1,800 glyphs which include a large number of ligatures, swashes, stylistic alternates, and ornaments. It includes the basic Latin section of Linotype Univers and support for Arabic, Persian, and Urdu. It also includes proportional and tabular numerals for the supported languages
