Quran Fonts: Hafs and Warsh for Writing Verses

Quran fonts are made to carry full diacritics, as in printed mushafs. These are the Quran fonts in Tiraz, each shown from its real file on the same line for comparison.

Hafs fonts

The Hafs reading is the most widespread in the Levant and the Gulf, and most printed mushafs follow it. Its fonts in Tiraz include KFGQPC Hafs Taweel, based on the King Fahd Complex (KFGQPC) Quran font, with the file name Elgharib-KFGQPCHafsTAWEEL, and TE Hafs 2 from Tharwat Emara's fonts.

Warsh fonts

The Warsh reading is widespread in North and West Africa. Its spelling and marks differ from Hafs, so write its verses in a Warsh font.

Writing a verse in your design

  • Copy the verse with its diacritics from a trusted source; don't type it from memory.
  • Use a font for the verse's own reading: Hafs for Hafs text, Warsh for Warsh text.
  • Naskh for a long verse, Thuluth for a short one or a headline.
  • Tiraz never stretches the Divine Name, even with automatic kashida.

  2. Open the template in the editor

    The verse template opens in the editor at full size; its fonts and pictures download once and stay on your device. Everything you see is its own layer: texts, photos, and ornaments. Don't start with colors before the text is in, since the length of a name can change the design's balance.
