Best Arabic fonts for captions on reels and video
The clearest Arabic fonts for captions and subtitles on Reels, TikTok and YouTube, plus size, colour and outline tips.
The font is half the job: if a caption is hard to read, people skip. These Arabic fonts read fast on a phone screen.
Fonts we recommend
- Tajawal: very clear and modern, great for bold captions.
- Cairo: open, comfortable letters for longer lines.
- IBM Plex Sans Arabic: clean and formal for tutorials.
- Noto Kufi Arabic: modern kufi, strong for titles and single words.
- Almarai: simple and light, good for bottom subtitles.
Weight and size
Use a bold weight (Bold or ExtraBold) for animated captions. In a 1080x1920 video, about 60 to 90 suits single words, a bit smaller for sentences.
Colour and outline
White with a black outline or shadow works over any background. Colour the key word with one strong colour like yellow or gold. Avoid light colours without an outline over light footage.
