The objective of this project is to create a formal Serif Latin &
Looped Thai typeface. Taviraj is a contemporary serif typeface
family that maintains readability and legibility. Inspired by
transitional serif typeface design, Taviraj has 9 weights and their
italics, which range from Thin to black. It is a contemporary take
on high contrast typefaces that never go out of style.

Work Sans is a 9 weight typeface family based loosely on early
Grotesques, i.e. Stephenson Blake, Miller & Richard and Bauerschen
Giesserei. The core of the fonts are optimised for on-screen
medium-sized text usage (14px-48px), but still can be used in print
well. The fonts at the extreme weights are designed more for display
use. Overall, features are simplified and optimised for screen
resolutions, for example, diacritic marks are larger than how they
would be in print.
This port contains both desktop (OTF) and web fonts (TTF, WOFF,
WOFF2).
Chivo (Goat) is a new Omnibus-Type grotesque Sans Serif typeface
family. The strength of Chivo Black makes it ideal for highlights
and headlines. Chivo Regular's elegance makes it ideal for combining
with the strength of Chivo Black and for for continuous reading
settings. Its design details make it an indispensable ally for any
designer.

Mada is a modernist, low-contrast Arabic typeface based largely on
the typeface seen in Cairo metro old signage which was designed by
Professor Fathi Gouda of Faculty of Applied Arts, Helwan University.
Mada is characterised by low descenders, open contours and low-contrast
forms making it suitable for small point sizes, user interfaces,
signage or low resolution settings.
Mada can work also as a display typeface giving modernist and
simplistic feeling.
Mada comes in 7 weights (ExtraLight, Light, Regular, Medium, SemiBold,
Bold and Black), as well as an interpolatable variable font that
can provide any intermediate weight on the fly.

Tagmukay is a Shifinagh script font with support for the Tawallammat
Tamajaq language. The script name is more commonly spelled Tifinagh,
but Shifinagh is the preferred spelling in the region where Tawallammat
Tamajaq is spoken. Tagmukay is a Unicode font that features
bi-consonant ligatures and alternate forms necessary to support
this language.
This port contains both TrueType and Web fonts.
Alkalami is a font designed for Arabic-based writing systems in the
Kano region of Nigeria and Niger.
Alkalami (pronounced al-KA-la-mi) is the local word for the Arabic
"qalam", a type of sharpened stick used for writing on wooden boards
in the Kano region of Nigeria and in Niger, and what gives the style
its distinct appearance. The baseline stroke is very thick and
solid. The ascenders and other vertical strokes including the teeth
are very narrow when compared to the baseline. A generous line
height is necessary to allow for deep swashes and descenders, and
the overall look of the page is a very black, solid rectangle.
Diacritics are much smaller in scale, with very little distance
from the main letters.
