Eisa AlEisa

Eisa AlEisa is an independent type foundry from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia , the studio of artist and type designer Eisa AlEisa. Most releases begins as an ink drawing on paper: letterforms shaped by hand long before they become digital curves, which gives the work a warmth and rhythm rooted in the visual culture of the Gulf. The foundry focuses on original Arabic type , contemporary designs with real personality, careful joins, deep bowls, and stems cut with a single confident chamfer. Each typeface is drawn to hold its character at display sizes and stay readable in text. The last release, Aljawhara, takes its name from the Arabic word for "the jewel."
