Raqq (رَقّ) is a manuscript Kufic typeface, that intends to replicate (as faithfully as possible) the third century AH (early Abbasid) style of Kufic script used in writing the Quran.
Raqq uses color font technology to replicate the colored vocalization system of red, yellow and green dots used in these early Quranic manuscripts.
Raqq is intended more for use in smaller font sizes (possibly inline in scholarly texts) as it has large to body letter forms and a sturdy feel.
Raqq design is based mostly on the MS Add.1116 Quranic manuscript.
Raqq is Arabic for parchment.
