Typophile Special Interest Group for Arabic Typography and Type Design

Adam

A group of font designers started the Typophile 'Arabic' forum and one of the reasons, sadly, was that Khtt seemed to be concerned with one technical issue only - matchmaking. Khtt's strong point is that it emphasizes the aesthetic and branding sides of Arabic typography in modern culture, which is fine, of course, but even so there is almost no open discussion of these issue between members. Ideally both forums will be more open to the discussions presented in each other.

As one of the designers who adapted his font for use within the Tasmeem software I found it a stimulating experience which brings out many interesting issues. These need to be discussed by the community to help bring out the full potential of this amazing approach.
