Amiri vs Noto Naskh Arabic: Measured Delivery
Compare Amiri and Noto Naskh Arabic by Arabic and Latin WOFF2 totals, variable availability and declared coverage in the August 23, 2026 measured snapshot.
Quick answer
Noto Naskh Arabic is the smallest measured set
At 103.2 KB for Arabic regular and bold, it is the lightest option in this comparison. Size is one decision input—not proof of better readability, rendering, or overall product fit. Evaluate a Naskh reading-font shortlist where the large static-size difference and a variable option change the delivery budget; readability still needs a visual trial.
