Description: Arabic script font designed for use by languages in West Africa
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 the Arabic script in West Africa.
.
This release supports virtually all of the Unicode 13.0 Arabic character
repertoire (excluding the Quranic annotation signs in the Arabic Extended-A
block and excluding the Arabic Presentation Forms blocks, which are not
recommended for normal use). Font smarts are implemented using OpenType
and Graphite technologies.
.
This font uses state-of-the-art OpenType and Graphite font technologies,
including variant glyphs for a number of characters for use in particular
contexts.
.
This font provides a simplified rendering of Arabic script, using basic
connecting glyphs but not including a wide variety of additional ligatures
or contextual alternates (only the required lam-alef ligatures). This
simplified style is often preferred for clarity, especially in non-Arabic
languages, but may be considered unattractive in more traditional and
literate communities.
.
Two fonts from this typeface family are included in this release:
* Harmattan Regular
* Harmattan Bold
.
Webfont versions and HTML/CSS examples are also available.
.
The full font sources are publicly available at
https://github.com/silnrsi/font-harmattan
An open workflow is used for building, testing and releasing.
