C. Extreme legibility not only in small sizes, but also when the type is filtered or skewed, e.g., in Photoshop or Illustrator.

D. An attractive typographic image.
Ekbatana was developed for multiple languages and writing conventions.
Ekbatana supports Arabic, Persian, and Urdu. It also includes proportional and tabular numerals for the supported languages.
