Any
Ornamental, Qura'nic or title use. The font can be acquired on exclusive
bases by an organization and/or to maintain a corporate image in order
to distinguish their advertisement and/or documentation. Many application
may be possible beyond our knowledge. For exclusivity licensing, please
contact developer prior to initial release date by sending me an email
abdulla@faris.com.
The
font is designed from scratch to achieve eligibility and clarity when read
on the fly utilizing an ornamental Arabesque-Kufi style engineered like
no other. The rest of the characters manifest this philosophy, as each
character has to go through morphosis cycles until it is perfected from
all angles, in terms of beauty, coherence and balance. Check the downloadable
files to see the evolution of this font as it occurs. We will attempt to
develop a corresponding Latin/Roman (English) font based on the the same
concept in order to complement this development, however, the latter font
is not a priority, but it is in the works and we have a achieved a considerable
amount of success. The typefaces can support all the standard features
such as Italics, Shadowing and Outlining. The Bold feature will be turned
off to prevent the broken stems from being smeared and to maintain readability
in small point sizes.
The
concept has been in my drawers for the past 12 years and came to live as
I started to experiment in constructing full titles and names and when
I perfected the ratios and balance of heights, widths and bases (accents
and decents). It is now a reality and we hope to excel the development
as fast as we can. Should we get contacted by an interested party for exclusivity,
we believe we can dedicate more time to the development of this font.
