ABOUT
Tuaf is an experimental Latin & Arabic type family designed for small sizes, started as an EsadType graduation project. The process began with sketches on 2 mm high lines, adhering to strict rules. This approach prompted an exploration of the interplay between the black and white shapes, shaping the writing rhythm over the individual letter details. Rather than a linear increase of weights in the family, the styles changed shape or structure to improve their performance at small sizes. Although, the family consists of Light, Regular, Bold, Bold Italic, and Black styles, only Bold and Bold Italic styles are available for version 0.1.
