West African Arabic script font (web fonts)
Project homepage: https://software.sil.org/harmattan/
Description
Harmattan, named after the trade winds that blow during the dry season in
West Africa, is designed in a Warsh style to suit the needs of languages
using Ajami (the Arabic script) in West Africa. The font was originally
designed specifically for languages in Guinea. Significant design changes
have been made as the font has been extended to handle a wider variety of
languages using the Arabic script. The font features are easily configurable
to select regional styles of glyphs.
Harmattan is considered highly legible and has been used in mobile
applications for languages in other regions of the world.
The Harmattan font family consists of four weights: Regular, Medium,
SemiBold, Bold.
