What this page is showing

The specimen above is set in the exact WOFF2 files listed in the table, served from Google's CDN with the unicode ranges they ship with. Nothing was re-drawn and nothing was estimated; if the numbers look wrong, run the cost tool on the same family and compare.

This family is variable: Google serves one file per subset for the whole weight axis, which is why every weight in the table measures the same size. You get all 9 weights for the price of one download.

Weight 700 in Arabic measures 30.2 KB. The licence is OFL, so self-hosting and subsetting are permitted; keep the licence file with the font.

Pairing is not asserted here. Whether a Naskh body face belongs beside this family is a judgement about a page, and the only honest way to make it is to set the two together. The specimen pairs it with IBM Plex Sans by default, because that is what this site uses.
