An Istanbul type foundry presenting Kâtib Naskh, a typeface for Arabic, Ottoman Turkish, and Latin text.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-17 issue.

Field notes

Kâtib Naskh is presented through Arabic, Ottoman Turkish, and Latin specimens rather than a single static preview. The interactive area lets visitors enter their own text, choose among the three scripts, change the size, and reset the sample, while separate views examine harakat, classical marks, symbols, and color. The foundry also shows bilingual book-cover work and identifies its designer, Fatih Babacan, as an Ottoman Turkish teacher and technical educator with more than 30 years of practice.
