I was given a certificate of appreciation by a charity, and my daughter's name was spelt incorrectly, and rather than bother them for a new one, I thought I'd edit the certificate myself.

I've got close with Latina and FF Plus Sans, but there are tiny little details missing.

Such as the top of the lower case i is slanted backwards slightly, and the lower case 'round' letters are not 'round, but flatter. If that makes sense.

The typeface is called Dubai, and was commissioned by the Government of Dubai. It was distributed with Windows 10 and Office 365, and used to have its own website for download (now shuttered, it seems).

 

Used to be available from the Font Squirrel website as well, but that link appears to be broken, too.

The Internet Archive has an archived copy of dubaifont.com, complete with download link at the top right.

I tried both dubaifont.com and dubaifont.ae on archive.org, and none of the download links still funtction (throws javascript void errors).

Legend!

That's definitely the right one, as it was from a Dubai Charity!

And I have it in Word for Mac, but not in Preview or the Mac Font Book.

Not sure how to get it into Preview...

You’re correct: the download link appears to be inactive. I didn’t check that, apologies.
