↑ Yameen type specimen.

As the world becomes more connected‭, ‬the need for multiscript type families grows significantly‭. ‬Yameen‭ ‬‭‬is a variable multiscript typeface covering Arabic and Latin ranging from Regular to Bold weights‭. ‬Preserving the authenticity‭ ‬of both scripts‭, ‬Yameen is intended for bilingual editorial projects‭. ‬The Arabic was inspired by Naskh calligraphy‭, ‬retaining in‭ ‬its outlines the character of the Qalam‭. ‬The Latin forms present the same crisp aesthetic taken from the parallel pen offering‭ ‬a calligraphic interpretation of the genre of old-style typefaces‭. ‬
