Introduction:
The Darwish Typeface is a revival of the best form of the glorious eighteenth-century Qandusi Script. We chose the most distinguished letters from the ancient manuscripts and modified them to be consistent with Typography.
The Typeface’s name is derived from a common term for righteous Sufi ascetics, as the scholar Al-Qandusi was known to be.
Muhammad ibn Al-Qasim Al-Qandusi Al-Jaza’iri was a Sufi scholar and a famous calligrapher in Morocco. He created a style based on the simple Maghrebi Andalusian script and used it to write a 12-volume Qur’an, which is kept in Morocco’s royal treasury and is named after Al-Qandusi.
The Qandusi script is characterized by its contrast of letter thicknesses and the remarkable customizations that reflect a rare beauty that combines old and
Past and present are brought together in the Darwish Typeface; in terms of beautiful appearance and distinctive functionality, traditional and modern values are encapsulated all at once.
