+Amiri Font
+==========
 
+Amiri is a classical Arabic typeface in Naskh style for typesetting books and
+other running text.
+
+Amiri is a revival of the beautiful typeface pioneered in early 20th century by
+[Bulaq Press] [1] in Cairo, also known as Amiria Press, after which the font is
+named.
+
+The uniqueness of this typeface comes from its superb balance between the
+beauty of Naskh calligraphy on one hand, the constraints and requirements of
+elegant typography on the other. Also, it is one of the few metal typefaces
+that were used in typesetting the Koran, making it a good source for a digital
+typeface to be used in typesetting Koranic verses.
+
+Amiri project aims at the revival of the aesthetics and traditions of Arabic
+typesetting, and adapting it to the era of digital typesetting, in a publicly
+available form.
+
+Amiri is a free and open source project that everyone is encouraged to use and
+modify. Amiri is avialable under the terms of [Open Font License] [2], see the
+included license file for more details.
+
+Latest version of the Amiri font can be optained from its web site:
