Introduction
Client: King Abdulaziz Foundation (Darah) | Ancient Hijazi scripts inspire the King Abdulaziz Darah Typeface. Originally designed by Kameel Hawa, it balances solidity and fluidity, making it one of the most distinctive Arabic typefaces. The letterforms reflect the Darah's spirit and vision. However, the previous version of the typeface had several issues in both its design and technical engineering. The original version included three weights and supported Arabic only. Based on this, we restructured the entire font file and redrew the typeface from scratch. A light weight was added, and the font family was reorganized while resolving all engineering issues. We also enhanced the Arabic letterforms and corrected all prior design flaws. Additionally, we designed basic Latin characters in four weights that align visually with their Arabic counterparts, along with Arabic numerals and punctuation marks. |
