m’as khat

Ma'as typeface is a family of variable, experimental, Arabic and Latin fonts inspired by Al-Kufi Al-Handassi and by early XXth century geometric fonts. Through this work, I question the balance of power between Latin and Arabic script as well as the technological tools' efficiency that made for drawing Arabic characters. The historical calligraphic reference for each of the two scripts aims to avoid stylistic mimicry of one towards the other and to interact seamlessly in a common graphic space.
