Univers Next Arabic Bold stands out for its precise matching with a specific Latin family—not just any sans serif.

Univers Next Arabic Bold is a bold-weight Arabic companion to the Univers Next typeface family, designed to match the geometric/neo-grotesque proportions and neutral tone of Univers Next while supporting Arabic script. It’s intended for headings, display text, and brand use where strong, contemporary Arabic typography is required alongside Latin Univers Next.

Traditional Arabic typefaces fall into two categories: Naskh (flowing, cursive) and Kufic (angular, monumental). Univers Next Arabic does not imitate either directly. Instead, it adopts a simplified Kufic structure with Naskh-like baseline connection—a hallmark of modern “linear” Arabic typefaces. Its Bold weight increases stroke contrast modestly while maintaining uniformity across letter shapes. univers next arabic bold

With the rise of Arabic-language apps, a bold weight is needed for buttons, navigation bars, and badges. Univers Next Arabic Bold renders crisply on iOS and Android due to its large x-height (or ain-height in Arabic) and open counters. Unlike decorative fonts, it remains legible at 14px.
