The Arabic scripts look amazing! Gradient support is bigger than color support imo
- ComputerGuru 4y agoThe Arabic scripts are breathtaking but I had some difficulty discerning the Reem Kufi examples. It might be just me, but I've never seen the right+left connected ع drawn that way in Kufi scripts. It seems both alien and a poor match for the rest of the characters in the Reem Kufi fonts - I first thought it was a ligature error!
- khaled 4y agoReem Kufi designer here, that is the original form of ع in Arabic and the only form used in manuscript Kufi. Kufi-inspired typefaces often use the more familiar form from later calligraphic styles. Reem Kufi has an alternate form as well, but it is not the default.
- ComputerGuru 4y agoThanks for the explanation, Khaled! I have some reading to do! Beautiful work, thanks for releasing these fonts and for sharing this info.
- nathancahill 4y agoSeeing the Arabic script and knowing the technology behind it that makes it possible to render is one of those rare "wow" moments for me.
- masswerk 4y agoI quite disliked the Latin fonts at first sight, but I like the Arabic ones just as much as I dislike the former. An occasion to contemplate that what may be not that great in the context of Western culture may be still a great thing and useful for another one.
