The project aims to design a simplified,modular Arabic typeface inspired by the simplification reforms of the 1930s and 1960s, as well as Linotype's ‘Simplified Arabic’ from the 1950s.Developed in a master's seminar at FH Aachen,it seeks to ease learning of Arabic script by reducing standard letter forms from four to two per glyph.The goal is to create simpler forms while retaining essential features of Arabic script.‘Geo Kufi’ is designed as a display font suitable for headlines or short texts.
