<em>Blaka</em> is an experimental typeface, enriching the gothic feeling of Black Letters by enhancing the | ||
geometric features to create midgrounds with the Kufic style for the Arabic letterforms. | ||
</p> | ||
<p> | ||
The aesthetical matching process between the two scripts relies on the features of being hand-drawn with a reed | ||
pen. While Latin letterforms maintain sharp edges, Arabic relies on sharp edges and thick strokes to create overlaps | ||
to replace a usual baseline in most letterforms, giving the Arabic letterforms contemporary features. | ||
</p> | ||
<p> | ||
The font family comes in two styles, Blaka and Blaka Hollow, featuring an outlined version of the font. Blaka also | ||
comes in two variants, the usual monochrome variants as well as an Ink variant <em>Blaka Ink</em>. The Ink variant | ||
are color fonts where the colors are defined by the font itself. Support for color fonts is currently limited to few | ||
applications like Google Chrome (version 98 or later). | ||
