For over a decade, Ihsan Fonts (e.g., Ihsan, Ihsan Bold, Ihsan Unicode, Ihsan Nastaleeq) have been a staple for Pashto digital publishing. Named after their creator or the calligraphic style, these fonts became popular because they mimic the Nastaleeq script — the elegant, flowing hand preferred for Pashto and Urdu in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa region and among Pashtun diaspora.
