☄️ Blaka - new typeface by @gue3bara ☄️
Now available on @googlefonts

Blaka is an experimental typeface, enriching the gothic feeling of Black Letters by enhancing the geometric features to create midgrounds with the Kufic style for the Arabic letterforms.

[Kief Type Foundry @KiefType]

The aesthetical matching process between the two scripts relies on the features of being hand-drawn with a reed pen. While Latin letterforms maintain sharp edges, Arabic relies on sharp edges and thick strokes to create overlaps to replace a usual baseline in most letterforms

Does anyone have a good suggestion for an Afghani flavored (Nastaliq) font? It’s for a friend who need it for a small design job

[Borna Izadpanah @BornaIz]

The first printing of the Qur'an by Muslims was in 1787 in Saint Petersburg under the patronage of Catherine II. The same (or a very similar) fount of type was used for another impression of the Qur'an in 1803 in the Volga city of Kazan (image).
