The Dong font is based on the Mohaqqaq style and is one of the six classical styles. The Mohaqqaq style is characterized by its elegant lines and regular spacing. One and a half dong of this style is round, while four and a half dong is flat. In this style, each letter has an independent form and maintains its fixed and defined shape. This style was one of the first to be redesigned by the skilled Ibn Muqla and later popularized by Ibn Bawwab.
The approach to designing this typeface is not calligraphic but rather design-oriented. Therefore, adjustments have been made to align the forms with the designer's conceptual space.
This typeface features two styles: an elongated style suitable for titles and a shorter style ideal for brief texts or spaces with high density.

Notable visual features of this typeface include the dominance of the round surface, the presence of serifs in certain letters like Alef, Be, Je, Dal, and Ta. The ends of the letters and Re and Me are written and delivered freely. Due to the vertical elongation of some letters, words cluster around the base line, creating a balance of lightness and heaviness in the text, sometimes resulting in interesting contrasts of ink and white space. The elongated forms of the letters Re and Me often create a rhythm together or leave space for subsequent letters, allowing them to fit seamlessly within the text.

The Dong typeface features numerous ligatures and alternate letters, providing designers and typographers with the flexibility to create engaging works. These ligatures and alternate characters introduce variety, making the text more readable and appealing to the intended audience.

This typeface supports not only Persian but also Arabic, Urdu, Kurdish, and Latin languages. In the Latin typeface, efforts have been made to ensure that the letters display a consistent grayness when placed alongside Persian or Arabic characters, maintaining harmony in design and equal contrast. The Latin typeface also features ligatures, making it suitable for both text and titles.
