Amiri Font Download (TTF)
Amiri is Khaled Hosny's classical Naskh for books and Quranic lines. Download the free static TTF from the Amiri project or the Google Fonts package, then install that file. This page's ZIP is a convenience copy of the same OFL family.
The Google Fonts package contains Amiri-Regular.ttf, Amiri-Bold.ttf, Amiri-Italic.ttf, and Amiri-BoldItalic.ttf. The italic files are the slanted cuts. Install those static TTF files. Amiri is not shipped as a variable font.
Amiri is maintained by Khaled Hosny and licensed under the SIL Open Font License 1.1. You can use the files in commercial documents, books, apps, and websites. If you pass the font files on, keep the license text with them. The license does not allow selling the font files by themselves.
Install the TTF on Windows
- Unzip the official package and pick the .ttf file you need. Install the font file, not the .zip.
- Right-click that .ttf and choose Install. Choose Install for all users when everyone on the PC should see it.
- Quit and reopen Word, or any other app that was already open, so the new family loads.
Install the TTF on macOS
- Unzip the official package and double-click the .ttf file. Font Book opens.
- Click Install, then confirm the family appears in Font Book.
- Reopen the app where you want to use the font.
On Linux, copy the same .ttf files into ~/.fonts/ or ~/.local/share/fonts/ and refresh the font cache.
How to Use Amiri in Word and Canva
Microsoft Word
In Word, set the complex-script font to Amiri. Pick Italic only when you want the slanted cut. If Arabic letters stay disconnected, the paragraph is still left-to-right or the complex-script font is still a fallback.
- Enable Arabic as an Office authoring language if you do not see a Right-to-left paragraph button. Microsoft shows that button in the Paragraph group on the Home tab only after a right-to-left language is enabled.
- Select the Arabic text and choose Amiri on the Home tab. Open the Font dialog with Ctrl+D and set the complex-script font to Amiri as well, so Arabic does not stay on a fallback while Latin text uses another face.
- In the Paragraph group, click Right-to-left. Arabic letters join when the paragraph direction is right-to-left and the complex-script font is the family you installed.
- If Amiri is missing from the font menu, close Word, confirm the TTF installed, and open the document again.
Microsoft documents the Right-to-left paragraph button in Using right-to-left languages in Office.
Google Docs
In Google Docs, open More fonts and search for Amiri. The slanted cut is the italic style. If Amiri is not in that list, Docs cannot see a TTF installed on your computer, so use Word instead.
- On the Google Docs home screen, open the menu, choose Settings, and turn on Always show right-to-left controls.
- In the document, select the text, open the font menu, choose More fonts, and search for Amiri.
- If the family is not listed, Docs cannot use a TTF from your computer. Use Word with the installed font, or upload the TTF where the tool accepts custom fonts.
- Select the Arabic paragraph and click Paragraph direction on the toolbar so the paragraph runs right-to-left.
Google documents the paragraph-direction control in Edit and view text from right to left.
Canva
No Canva help or newsroom page confirms that Amiri is in the built-in font menu. Upload Amiri-Regular.ttf, and upload Amiri-Bold.ttf as well if the design needs bold. These are static files, so they avoid Canva's variable-font limit.
- Font upload is available on Canva Pro, Canva Teams, Canva Business, Canva Education, and Canva for Nonprofits. A Brand Kit owner or admin has to upload the file.
- From the homepage, open Brand, then Fonts, then Add to category, then Upload a font. Canva accepts OTF, TTF, and WOFF. It does not accept ZIP or WOFF2.
- Upload each static style you need. Bold stays unavailable until the bold file is uploaded. Canva does not support variable fonts.
- In the editor, select the text, choose the uploaded family, and set the paragraph to right-to-left so Arabic joins.
Canva documents the upload path in Upload and use Brand Kit fonts and the accepted formats in file upload requirements. The SIL Open Font License allows embedding in a design. Upload only fonts you are licensed to use.

For a website, self-host the same-origin WOFF2 files this site already serves, or use the Google Fonts stylesheet. Desktop apps should use the TTF, not this WOFF2 sample.
Amiri vs Scheherazade New
Choose Amiri when the page should feel like a classical printed book: Bulaq-style Naskh, four static cuts, and a reading texture for Arabic books and Quranic lines. Choose Scheherazade New when the job is scholarly coverage instead of that book color — a wider Arabic-script repertoire, heavier diacritics, and SIL's extended Naskh. Amiri is the literary text face. Scheherazade New is the documentation face.

Amiri and the Bulaq Press Naskh
Amiri is a classical Arabic typeface designed by Dr. Khaled Hosny, drawing inspiration from the beautiful Naskh script used by the historic Bulaq Press in Cairo during the early 20th century. This font represents a careful digital revival of traditional Arabic calligraphy, combining timeless elegance with modern OpenType technology.
Within this repo, Amiri is positioned as a reading-oriented Arabic font for Quranic text, Islamic literature, and formal Arabic documents. It is most useful when you want a more classical Naskh tone than a screen-first UI font.
In practice, this page is best used as a quick selection and download resource: confirm that the reading tone fits your project, then download the package or test the font in the generator.
