Aisha

Posted on June 10, 2013 by

Aisha was created as part of my research within the post-diplome programme at the ESAD in Amiens, Frances. Originating from an enquiry into the history of an Arabic metal fount cut in the 19th century, part of this typeface qualifies as an historical revival. Its reinterpretation provided insights into its creation and practices from the past.

Moreover, a redefinition of the historic model within contemporary practice through extension of language support and the design of a Latin companion added value and interest. Based on the calligraphy practiced in the Maghreb and covering North Africa as well as most European languages, this typeface aspires to be a usable and relevant contribution to Arabic typography of today.
