About
Designed by Lyubov Kuznetsova at ParaType in 1997, the typeface is grounded in study of both historical Kufic calligraphy and contemporary Arabic type design. Three weights are offered, each with an oblique companion, making six styles in total. The Latin glyphs are drawn from Tagir Safayev's FreeSet (1992), providing a functional if pragmatic companion script.
