Graphik Arabic
Commercial Type · Wael Morcos, Khajag Apelian · 2019
Wael Morcos and Khajag Apelian's Arabic companion to Graphik, leaning into utility rather than calligraphic detail.
About
An Arabic companion to Graphik by Wael Morcos and Khajag Apelian. Where the Latin Graphik straddles the line between geometric sans and European grotesk, the Arabic combines a grotesque's simplified strokes with the structure and proportion of a fluid script. The aim is a meaningful departure from calligraphic detailing, presenting a utilitarian workhorse with a plain style. Nine weights from Thin to Super track the Latin master, making the pair safe for editorial systems and brands that work across both scripts.
