Jomhuria is a dark Persian/Arabic and Latin display typeface, suitable for headline and other display usage.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The name means 'republic,' and the spark of inspiration for the design was a stencil of “Shablon” showing just a limited character set just for the Persian language without any marks, vowels or Latin glyphs.
|
|
Shablon was designed 30 years ago in Iran, and is reinterpreted by Kourosh to incorporate contemporary techniques, aesthetics and of course some personal taste.
|
|
While inspired by the spirit of Shablon, Jomhuria is a new typeface that stands on its own.
|
|
The typeface designer Kourosh created an additional original Latin design that is tailored to harmonize with the aesthetics of the Persian/Arabic design.

|
Being made for big sizes means details matter.
|
|
The positions of the dots remains faithful to their locations in Persian/Arabic calligraphy;
|
|
this is an important factor of beauty in the writing system and is key to readability.
|

|
|
The Arabic script was designed by Kourosh Beigpour, and the Latin was designed by Eben Sorkin.
|
|
The font is engineered by Lasse Fister, and the technicalities build upon those developed by Khaled Hosny for his “Amiri.”
|
|

|
|
<p>
|
|
The Latin is scaled to work best with the Arabic component.

The Jomhuria project is led by KB Studio, a type design foundry based in Los Angelese, USA.
