The central apex is the most important aspect of Aravrit. This is the line that connects the two foreign languages, top and bottom. In this writing system, it is used as the merging point of Arabic and Hebrew.

In typography, the apex is the top point of a letterform, connecting between two lines.

In Aravrit, the central apex stes on the top of the Hebrew letters and connects them at the bottom of the Arabic letters.

This line creates the intersection of the languages.

In the process of creating the writing system, each letterform is cut in the middle of it, and then the designer modifies and moves the nodes of each letter to reach a smooth and legible version of a completed word.

Naskh Script

Naskhī script is an Arabic handwritten script style that emerged in the 10th century. It replaced the Kufic calligraphy script and remained widely used in the Arab world, as it is easier to read and write.

The script emphasizes proportions between letters and maintaining a horizontal line. It is an easy and simple calligraphy style of writing and that is why it was used in everyday life in the Arabic community, including in the Quran.

This type of script is the one used for creating Aravrit. This is relevant as the script is neat and balanced, and the letters have fluid and curvy shapes. Flat and rounded shapes, as well as heavy and light strokes, are equally divided, and that creates high legibility and a clear and quick writing style. Like Naskhī , Aravrit emphasizes balance and fluidity. It represents a modern way of writing, using the horizontal line to merge two languages.
