v3.115
The new build now comes in 7 weights and 21 styles introducing a new slant axis for the variable font interpolating between -11 degrees and 11 degrees to go both directions of writing for Arabic script and Latin.

Cairo is a contemporary Arabic and Latin typeface family.
Mohamed Gaber extended the famous Latin typeface family Titillum Web to support the Arabic script, with a design that is based on the Kufi calligraphic style.

Cairo balances classic and contemporary tastes with wide open counters and short ascenders and descenders that minimize length while maintaining easy readability.
The lighter weights can be used for body text while the heavier weights are perfect for headlines and display typography.
Each font includes stylistic ligatures and the Arabic component has a wide glyph set that supports the Arabic, Farsi, and Urdu languages.

The Cairo project is led by Mohamed Gaber, a type designer based in Cairo, Egypt.
