The character map above shows Al Mushaf’s glyphs and calligraphy style. The font takes its name from mushaf — the written Quran — and its letterforms follow the conventions readers expect from printed Quranic text.
What Makes Al Mushaf Different
- Built for the Quran, not adapted to it: the Mushaf script style is made for Quranic text first — Islamic books and religious publications are its home ground, not an afterthought.
- A settled, traditional design: created in September 2008, the font has the familiar look readers of printed mushafs already know — no learning curve for the eye.
- Lightweight: at about 107 KB the file downloads fast and embeds easily in documents and e-books.
- Print-first readability: the design holds up at the 14–18 pt sizes recommended for comfortable Quranic reading (see the tips under Best Uses).
Best Uses for Al Mushaf
- Quranic text — verses and passages in the Mushaf script style.
- Islamic books and religious publications — its primary, intended use.
- Arabic typography — professional designs that need a traditional Arabic face.
- Digital media — websites, apps and e-books carrying Arabic content.
Expert tips from experience with this font: use Al Mushaf for Quranic text rather than general decoration; keep the size between 14 and 18 pt for the most comfortable reading; test the output on more than one device before a final publication; and keep a backup of the TTF file for future use. More Arabic and Quranic styles are collected in the Arabic fonts category.
How to Download and Install
On Windows
Click the download button at the top of this page, extract the ZIP, right-click the TTF file and choose Install. Restart your app and Al Mushaf appears in its font list. The full walkthrough is in our PC install guide for Urdu fonts.
On Mac
Download and extract the ZIP, double-click the TTF file, and Font Book opens — click Install Font. Al Mushaf then appears in Font Book and is available in all your Mac applications.
On Android
Modern Android phones do not allow free system-wide font changes, so use the TTF inside apps: download the file, then load it through the app’s own font option (for example “Add Font” in PixelLab, KineMaster or CapCut) and select it there. Our Android install guide shows the in-app method step by step, and the CapCut font installation guide covers that app in detail.
On iPhone / iPad
Save the TTF file, import it with a font installer app (such as iFont), then install the profile it creates via Settings → Profile Downloaded → Install. The font is then available in apps that support custom fonts.
Al Mushaf vs Similar Fonts
| Font | How It Differs |
|---|---|
| Al Qalam Quran Majeed | Another Quranic text font with full marks — the closest alternative; compare both with your own passage before a print project. |
| Muhammadi Quranic | A Quranic style widely used for verses and religious books — a different visual flavour of the same job. |
| Scheherazade | A Naskh text font for Arabic and academic work — better for general Arabic prose; Al Mushaf is the Quran-specific choice. |
These fonts and their roles are compared in our Islamic and calligraphy fonts guide.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Solution |
|---|---|
| Font not showing after installation | Restart the device and the app — fonts register on a fresh start |
| Arabic letters not connecting properly | Make sure an Arabic keyboard/layout is enabled and RTL text direction is on |
| Download fails | Check your internet connection and try again — the ZIP is only about 107 KB |
| Boxes instead of Arabic text | Check your Unicode/language support settings, or reinstall the TTF |
