About
Maryam was developed by Lyubov Kuznetsova at ParaType (then ParaGraph) in 1994, building on her earlier Kuznetsova Abridge design from 1974. The design draws from a thorough study of classical Arabic calligraphy and modern Arabic typefaces in the Naskh tradition. Its four styles cover newspaper, magazine and book settings at both text and display sizes.
