Member Joh… Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 This topic was imported from the Typophile platform Arabic Graffiti book by Pascal Zoghbi to be published this week. ‘Arabic calligraphy and type design’ article by Kristyan Sarkis published on Typotheque website, showing development of the Thuraya typeface.

Member hra… Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 The Graffiti book looks nice. But I don't get the cover at all... Thuraya's baseline-shift trick is cool. hhp Link to comment
Member Joh… Posted May 11, 2011 Author Share Posted May 11, 2011 Thuraya's baseline-shift trick is cool. You mean the unitisation of the baseline shift, or the cursive attachment mechanism in general. The latter is not new, and has been implemented in other OT fonts, but the unitisation in Thuraya is interesting because unlike various historical forms of type unitisation it isn't a technical requirement or limitation but a positive feature of the design.

Member hra… Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 I meant the discrete stair-stepping, which seems like an elegant simplification. hhp Link to comment
Member beh… Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Very interesting. Yes 'stair-stepping' might be very convenient in design development. Link to comment

Member Lex… Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 What a great find! How does it come I didn't see this thread before? A very informative article, with a lot of hard work put into those illustrations. Looking forward to buying a copy of Zoghbi's Arabic Graffiti. Link to comment
Member Azi… Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Kashida-free + stepping font that typesets uneven word + line spacings?!https://typography.guru/forums/topic/91970-forwarding Link to comment
