I really thought that this font will make you become Muslim?!

This font is quietly a little bit inspired by the Holy Qur'an, but not really.

Arabic is considered the language of Islam, because it was chosen by Allah.

INSPIRATION

==============================================

The Quran is believed by Muslims to be not simply divinely inspired, but the literal word of God. Muhammad did not write it as he was illiterate. In Muslim theology, the Qur'an is considered to be either "created" or "uncreated".

FACKO!

Zakhrafa is a type of Islamic art which consists of embellished geometric designs. It is often used to complement Arabic calligraphy on architecture to bookcovers and various media. The inspiration of this font comes from the various Islamic patterns that can be seen on buildings all across Qatar. After living there for 8 years, I learned a lot about the Islamic culture which is what I want the font to reflect.

Hi, there!

We (the place where I work) are attempting to brand ourselves because our field is getting a bit too crowded and we don't want to get lost in the clutter. In the process, we are exploring a lot of different styles. Not that we are unsure how we want to proceed or what our positioning will be, we want to ensure nothing obvious is overlooked. In the process, a lot of ideas are generated, some discarded outright while others —as long are they support the planned positioning— are pursued long enough to recognize if they are worth exploring further...or not.

Some letters from this font were developed as part of one of the proposed wordmark. Overall, it works without breaking any of our internally established rules. The problem is one of extensibility and adaptability for unforeseen future needs which this font is prone to cause owing to its personality. The logo work was done in Illustrator, of course. However, to see if the typeface has potential beyond the few glyphs of the wordmark (and not in small part due to its modular nature), I worked out the remainder of the letters here in the fontstructor. :-)

I'd appreciate it if I could have your constructive criticism on each or any of the glyphs and how they could be improved. Specifically, I am trying to avoid awkwardness in the coming together of any two letters. As you can see, it's very much a work-in-progress.

Danke, Merci, Thank you, Shukria.

Inspired by a picture found on this website.

Another diagonal line font so soon after fs Overlap. A mere coincidence. The application of each is very different. Overlap is about negative space while I-Tilic is about patterns and meta shapes. Post samples if you end-up playing with this fontstruction. Have fun.

[ = fi ligature
] = ti ligature
< = background fill (negative)
> = background fill (positive)
` = reverse tile (above base line)
~ = reverse tile (full height)
{ = top border
} = bottom border
| = side border
