Tarif Arabic Font Family
Tarif Arabic Font Family is a contemporary multiscript typeface designed to bridge Latin and Arabic typographic traditions while celebrating cultural harmony. Created by Andrea Tartarelli and Cosimo Lorenzo Pancini of Zetafonts, with Arabic adaptation by Rania Azmi, it draws inspiration from 10th-century Andalusia’s Convivencia era—a historical model of Muslim-Christian-Jewish coexistence. This sans-serif family features seven weights from Extralight to Extrabold, blending humanist proportions with postmodern inversion of contrast for visual distinctiveness. Its Arabic characters mirror the Latin version’s playful geometry through fluid strokes and minimalist elegance, maintaining readability across editorial and display applications. The design incorporates OpenType features like alternate glyphs and ligatures, supporting sophisticated multilingual projects. While the free version offers limited Latin characters, commercial licenses provide full bilingual support. Ideal for branding, invitations, and cultural communication, Tarif Arabic harmonizes historical resonance with modern typographic innovation, offering designers a tool to create visually cohesive cross-cultural narratives without compromising script authenticity.
