À propos de la famille


In 2024, the Arabic type designer Lara Captan challenged Maria Montes to create a Latin companion for her existing Arabic display font called Kanat — the Turkish word for “wing.” Captan’s beautiful typeface is a detached stencil design, originally created for letterpress, which carries architectural playfulness and delivers a warm kind of boldness to the reader.

Based on the description above— and challenged by the question: How can I create a Latin companion for an Arabic font I cannot read or write? — Montes spent many hours observing and analysing Kanat Arabic, its personality and DNA, followed by many more hours of consulting with Lara Captan. The result is a Latin interpretation that carries a bold attitude and playful spirit.

Kanat Latin is best used at 48pt and above. It’s designed to highlight words with flair, and finds its sweet spot in architectural, food, music, fashion, and packaging contexts. The font supports 269 languages and covers Basic Latin, Latin-1 Supplement, Latin-2 Central European and Latin Plus.
