Reem Kufi Ink is a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kufic">Kufic</a> typeface based on early Kufic (Mushafi) models, but retrofitted to the Fatimid Kufic grid and with borrowing from its forms. Reem Kufi Ink is largely based on the Kufic designs of the late master of Arabic calligraphy <a href="https://ar.wikipedia.org/wiki/محمد_عبد_القادر_عبد_الله_(خطاط)">Mohammed Abdul Qadir</a> who revived this art in the 20th century and formalised its rules.

Reem Kufi Ink is particularly suitable for display settings, in titles or decorations. Due to its unmistakable old Kufic style, it gives a feeling of something old, historical, or Islamic.
