What Is Amar Nastaleeq?
Amar Nastaleeq is a Nastaliq family by eSpread Multiplication (version 1.40, 2013): bold, sloping Nastaliq letterforms with thick strokes and the long diagonal flow of traditional Urdu calligraphy. Its full Urdu letter coverage was checked from the font file itself before this article was written. It is a static TrueType font, so it installs like any standard desktop or in-app font. Because its shapes are so heavy and sloping, it reads best in headings and short formal text — it is a display and document face in the Nastaliq tradition, not a plain body-text face.

How to Use Amar Nastaleeq on Mobile Apps
Most font users today work on their phones, not on a desktop — so this section matters most. On Android and iPhone you use fonts inside design apps, not by changing the whole phone’s system font.
On Android (PixelLab, Canva and font-installer apps)
- Download the TTF file on your phone using the button at the top of this page.
- In PixelLab: open a text layer, tap the font option, choose My Fonts, and import the downloaded TTF file.
- 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.
- With a font-installer app: open the TTF in the installer app and follow its prompts to make the font available to supported apps.
- Type Urdu with an Urdu keyboard, keep the text direction right-to-left, and check that letters join correctly before exporting.

How to Use Amar Nastaleeq on a Website
- Download the TTF file using the button at the top of this page.
- Upload it to your website (for example, your theme’s fonts folder).
- Add an @font-face rule in your CSS pointing to the file, for example:
@font-face { font-family: 'Amar Nastaleeq'; src: url('fonts/amar-nastaleeq-font-download.ttf') format('truetype'); } - Apply it to Urdu text with
font-family: 'Amar Nastaleeq', serif;on your Urdu content, withdir="rtl"andlang="ur"on the Urdu blocks. - Test in Chrome and Firefox — Urdu shaping differs slightly between browsers, so check a real paragraph, not just a heading.
Best Uses for Amar Nastaleeq
- Formal Urdu documents — the Nastaliq flow suits letters, invitations and formal notices.
- Headings and titles — bold Nastaliq letterforms stand out on posters and banners.

Amar Nastaleeq vs Jameel Noori Nastaleeq
Jameel Noori Nastaleeq is the classic sloping Nastaliq benchmark for traditional Urdu documents. Amar Nastaleeq is also sloping Nastaliq, in the same tradition — a heavier, bolder take on the style, so it suits headings and formal text where a strong Nastaliq presence matters. Choose Jameel Noori for the most widely used Nastaliq; choose Amar Nastaleeq for a heavier Nastaliq heading face. For a lighter Nastaliq, see Pak Nastaleeq. For more background on the styles, see our Urdu Nastaliq fonts history.
