What Is AlFars 18 Aban?

AlFars 18 Aban is a Naskh-style Arabic script font: unlike sloping Nastaliq faces, its letters sit upright on a steady baseline, which keeps long text easy to read. Its full Urdu letter coverage was checked from the font file itself before this article was written. It is a TrueType font, so it installs like any standard desktop or in-app font. Note: AlFars 18 Aban is its own font — different from other fonts carrying the AlFars name.

How to Use AlFars 18 Aban on Mobile Apps

On Android (PixelLab, Canva and font-installer apps)

1. Download the TTF file on your phone using the button at the top of this page.
2. In PixelLab: open a text layer, tap the font option, choose My Fonts, and import the downloaded TTF file.
3. In Canva: upload the font through the Brand Kit font upload on a plan that supports it, or use the in-app font list — see our Canva Urdu fonts guide for the exact steps.
4. With a font-installer app: open the TTF in the installer app and follow its prompts to make the font available to supported apps.
5. Type Urdu with an Urdu keyboard, keep the text direction right-to-left, and check that letters join correctly before exporting.

On iPhone and iPad (via a font installer app)

1. Download the TTF file on your device using the button at the top of this page.
2. Open it in a font-installer app and install the font profile when asked.
3. Pick AlFars 18 Aban inside apps that support custom fonts, such as Canva, and type Urdu with right-to-left direction on.

If the font does not appear after installing, restart the app — and see our Android install guide and common Urdu font problems guide if letters show as boxes.

How to Use AlFars 18 Aban on a Website

1. Download the TTF file using the button at the top of this page.
2. Upload it to your website (for example, your theme’s fonts folder).
3. Add an @font-face rule in your CSS pointing to the file, for example:
   @font-face { font-family: 'AlFars 18 Aban'; src: url('fonts/alfars-18-aban-font-download.ttf') format('truetype'); }
4. Apply it to Urdu text with font-family: 'AlFars 18 Aban', serif; on your Urdu content, with dir="rtl" and lang="ur" on the Urdu blocks.
5. Test in Chrome and Firefox — Urdu shaping differs slightly between browsers, so check a real paragraph, not just a heading.

AlFars 18 Aban vs Jameel Noori Nastaleeq

Jameel Noori Nastaleeq is the classic sloping Nastaliq benchmark. AlFars 18 Aban is different in style: upright Naskh rather than sloping Nastaliq, so it suits documents and headings where quick reading matters more than calligraphic flow. Choose Jameel Noori for traditional Nastaliq documents; choose AlFars 18 Aban for clear, upright Urdu text. For more background on the styles, see our Urdu Nastaliq fonts history.
