It is an extended Arabic script font designed by SIL International for modern Unicode-based systems using OpenType for complex-script rendering. It supports virtually all of the Unicode 4.1 Arabic character repertoire (excluding the Arabic Presentation Forms blocks, which are not recommended for normal use), and is currently available in Regular weight only.
