Fedra Arabic

Sans and Serif Styles

Although the notion of Sans and Serif doesn’t exist in Arabic typography, we created two different packages for Fedra Sans and Serif. Obviously only the Latin characters are serrifed or not; Arabic glyphs are than matched for the typographic ‘colour’ of the text, so the Sans is slightly heavier than the Serif, because it has lower contrast between the thick and thin parts of the letters.

Since Fedra type family comprises of both Sans and Serif fonts, part of the concept for the Arabic companion was to create a typeface that can be mixed with both styles. This is possible thanks to the low-contrast style of the Serif version.

There are two flavours of Sans available, one borrowing glyphs from Fedra Sans, and the other from Fedra Sans Alt (below). Arabic glyphs are identical in both fonts. These fonts are called Fedra AR and Fedra Alt AR.
