The Design
About Monk Latin and Arabic Geometric 서체 디자인
Monk는 인본주의 적 산세 리프의 개방성과 가독성과보다 정규화 된 산세 리프의 성격 사이의 균형을 추구합니다. 원래 라틴어 서체로 디자인되었지만 아랍어 버전을 포함하려면 더 넓은 대화가 필요하다는 것이 초기에 결정되었습니다. 라틴어와 아랍어 모두 우리에게 동일한 이론적 근거와 공유 기하학의 아이디어를 디자인합니다. 병렬 디자인 프로세스의 강점은 두 언어가 조화와 우아함의 균형을 이루도록합니다. 아랍어와 라틴어 모두 카운터, 줄기 두께 및 곡선 형태를 공유하여 원활하게 작동합니다.

- Unique Properties
- Monk is a multi-language geometric harmoniously balanced font in Arabic and Latin. The font family has its origins from the Benedictine and Franciscan writing. Both Arabic and Latin work seamlessly together having shared counters, stem thickness, and curved forms. Monk is a type family that seeks a balance between the openness and legibility of humanist sans serifs. Letterforms have a distinct direction of the ductus, a wide overall stance, large open counters that help in its legibility.

- Design Challenge
- The challenge was to create a modern typeface based on the historical research.
- Research
- The Monk font family has its origins from the Benedictine and Franciscan writing. The initial research was based around the ancient text stored in and around Umbria in central Italy. Analyzing the form and structure of the monk's letter we created a modern approach to the forms creating repeatable geometric curves, which were applied first to create the Latin font. With a concept of open discussion through the religions, the next logical step for us was to develop those design rationals to Arabic lettering with the development of two harmonious fonts.
- Inspiration
- The font family has its origins from the Benedictine and Franciscan writing. Originally designed as a Latin typeface it was quickly seen that we needed to open a wider dialogue and expand the font to include an Arabic version, using the same rationale to the design. The strength of the parallel design process allows the two typeset languages to have balanced harmony and grace.
- Project Duration
- The Project started in 2017 and finish in September 2018, in Perugia Italy.
- Operation Flow
- Our underlying concept was to develop a font that could communicate harmoniously in Arabic and Latin that was constructed with shared geometry. When used in an Arabic text western words would be seamlessly intergraded in the text.
