Arabesque Typeface
Typeface was designed based on random object (Moroccan tajine). I developed the alphabet based on Kufic calligraphic script. Materials: clay, gems, sand.
typeface was inspired by Kufic, the oldest calligraphic form of the various Arabic scripts. Its name is derived from the city of Kufa in Iraq, although it was know in Mesopotamia at least a hundred years before its foundation.
