About Arch-able Ҳарф-навишт

Arch-able як ҳарфи стенсилӣ мебошад, ки барои сохтани рақамӣ тарҳрезӣ шудааст. Ин ҳарф платформаи Arch-able-ро дастгирӣ мекунад, ки маълумоти рақамии тарҳҳои меъморонро бойгонӣ ва паҳн мекунад. Маҳали аломатҳо 26 ҳарф, 10 рақам ва 26 нишонаро дар бар мегирад. Ҳамаи кунҷҳо мудаввар карда шудаанд, то ки нӯшобаҳои дрилл, дастгоҳҳои буриши лазерӣ ва дигар абзорҳо ба ҳар як кунҷ расида, онро пайгирӣ карда тавонанд. Бисёр ҳарфҳои стенсилӣ кунҷҳои рости кунҷдор доранд, ки набояд кандакорӣ карда шаванд. Arch-able ин маҳдудиятро бартараф мекунад ва ба навомадагон кӯмак мекунад, ки бо абзорҳои маъмулӣ ҳарфнависии сеченака эҷод кунанд.

Production Technology: People had a problem about making 3D typography because it must have stencil style. And some stencil typefaces couldn’t engrave all corners even inside or outside because they have right angle corners.
So ARCH-ABLE typeface solved all issues for making 3D typography because it has stencil style shapes and all corners are rounded especially for all drill bits.
Design Challenge: This typeface structure has very strict rules. It was really hard to make all the characters. It should be all rounded, 45 degrees, geometric, 4x6, stencil style, and stylish. So we have to make it conceptual but keep it beautiful typeface as well. It was a very important thing.
Research: One day I had a chat with one of my friend who is an architect in Japan. He told me that Almost times I couldn’t engrave the corners of typefaces because they have right angle corners. That was the starting point.
We started to search so many stencil style typefaces all over the world through internet. Then we figured out we have to make all rounded corners typeface for all digital fabrication creators.
Inspiration: Nowadays Digital fabrication DIY culture is a boom in Japan. Almost users can use digital fabrication tools but they can’t make original stencil typeface for it. This typeface is digital fabrication friendly and beginner-friendly as well.
Project Duration: This project term was from November 2018 to January 2020 in Tokyo, JAPAN.
Operation Flow: People had a problem about making 3D typography because it must have stencil style. And some stencil typefaces couldn’t engrave all corners even inside or outside because they have right angle corners.
So this typeface is digital fabrication friendly because it has stencil style shapes and all corners are rounded for all drill bits, laser cutter and other tools. It means all drill bit can reach and fit all rounded corners.
It makes all users comfortable to make their products easier.
