About Cairo

Cairo by Mohamed Gaber and the Accademia di Belle Arti di Urbino is a contemporary Arabic-Latin typeface that achieves an unusually harmonious balance between the two scripts, drawing on Kufi geometric principles for the Arabic and a clean humanist sans-serif for the Latin. The variable font offers both slant and weight axes — the slant axis being particularly notable, as Arabic typically does not use oblique forms in the same way Latin does, making this an experimental design choice. Its bilingual strength makes it a leading option for Middle Eastern brand identity, editorial, and product design.
