Mishmish Texture
Tarek Atrissi Design · Tarek Atrissi
A textured variant of the Mishmish Arabic typeface, applying a rough grainy fill to ruq'ah-inspired letterforms for a retro, graphic quality.
About
Built on the simplified ruq'ah calligraphic style that underpins the original Mishmish family, this texture version overlays a grainy surface across the letterforms to create a distinctive retro character. Wide-ranging ligatures drawn from the base design are retained, adding calligraphic richness beneath the textured treatment. It suits branding, packaging and editorial work where typographic texture is integral to the visual tone.
Classification
A display typeface derived from the ruq'ah Arabic calligraphic tradition, distinguished by a rough grainy texture applied to the letterforms. Its decorative, retro-textured treatment and calligraphic origin place it firmly in the display category.
