Moreover, we re-introduced the Nastaliq as a secondary companion typeface to distinguish different text categories, similar to the role the Italic plays in Latin-script typography (which lead Thomas Milo to the pun "Naskh-italiq"). This practice, known from the heritage of manual text production had vanished from contemporary Arabic typography.

In this picture, the Nastaliq can be seen alongside the Emiri typeface in a detail of a footnote.
