From 360east: introducing two Jordanian type designers, who happen to hail from the city of Zarqa..

It’s really great that some Jordanian designers are directing their attention toward type design. Arab type is very lacking in diversity and innovation. Look at any newspaper and you see the same fonts repeated across the ads of different companies. Given the rich calligraphic heritage of the Arab world, it is sad to see so few good Arabic font designs.

Designing latin/English fonts is also something Jordanian designers should get interested in if they want to leave their mark on the global design scene.
