Variable font note: this is a variable font with a weight (wght 100–900) axis, so one file covers the full weight range. The preview on this page shows the default instance (weight 400). Older apps that do not support variable fonts may only show that default weight — if you need a heavier weight in such an app, use an app that lets you pick the weight, or export your design from an app that supports variable fonts. It also carries plus ELGR 1–2 and ELSH 0–16 axes, adjustable in apps that support variable-font axes.

What Is Handjet?

Handjet is a display family by David Brezina: Arabic-script letterforms constructed from rectangular blocks, in the style of early pixel type. Its full Urdu letter coverage was checked from the font file itself before this article was written. It is a TrueType variable font with three axes — weight (wght 100–900, default 400) plus ELGR (element grid, 1–2) and ELSH (element shape, 0–16) — so one file covers the full weight range and the block shapes can be adjusted in apps that support variable-font axes. The preview on this page shows the default instance. Because its shapes are built from blocks, it reads best at large display sizes — it is a heading and poster face, not a body-text face.

If you want to compare how it looks against other faces before installing, try the live Urdu font preview tool on this site, and browse the full Arabic Fonts category for more Urdu fonts.

How to Use Handjet 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.

On iPhone and iPad (via a font installer app)

Download the TTF file on your device using the button at the top of this page.
Open it in a font-installer app and install the font profile when asked.
Pick Handjet 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 Handjet 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: 'Handjet'; src: url('fonts/handjet-font-download.ttf') format('truetype'); }
Apply it to Urdu text with font-family: 'Handjet', serif; on your Urdu content, with dir="rtl" and lang="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 Handjet

Video titles and thumbnails — pixel Urdu text that stands out at small sizes — a natural fit for gaming content.
Posters and flyers — the blocky display shapes command attention at large sizes.
Logos and titles — a distinctive retro-digital face for event and brand designs.
Social media graphics — made for short, bold Urdu titles in PixelLab and Canva designs on mobile — compare with Blaka for a heavier experimental display.

Handjet vs Jameel Noori Nastaleeq

Jameel Noori Nastaleeq is the classic sloping Nastaliq benchmark for traditional Urdu documents. Handjet is the opposite in spirit: built from blocks, playful and retro-digital, so it suits display designs where a gaming or pixel look matters more than traditional calligraphy. Choose Jameel Noori for traditional Nastaliq documents; choose Handjet for pixel-style Urdu display text. For more background on the styles, see our Urdu Nastaliq fonts history.
