The resulting, retro-inspired vertiginous curves add instant attitude to any design.

Named after a colloquialism for ‘feet’, Pata features ultra-heavy slabs and contrasting hairline centers that rise from its chunky footprint. Pata Slab: the ultra-heavy optimism we all need in 2020 Pata Slab is the type equivalent of a catwalk stomp down a city sidewalk, a font that’s assertive, funky and more than a little sexy. Sada’s soft-vowel diacritic marks (harakat) are only selectively positioned with most of them appearing on similar lower or upper positions to emphasize they are not part of letters. Sada includes the required Lam-Alif ligatures in addition to all vowel diacritic ligatures. The Mutamathil Taqlidi type style uses one glyph per every basic Arabic Unicode character or letter, as defined by the Unicode Standards, and one additional final form glyph, for each freely-connecting letter in an Arabic text. The script design of this font family follows the Arabetics Mutamathil Taqlidi style and utilizes varying x-heights. Each weight has normal and left-slanted “italic” styles. It comes with three weights, regular, bold, and ultra-light. Sada supports all Arabetic scripts covered by Unicode 6.1, and the latest Arabic Supplement and Extended-A Unicode blocks, including support for Quranic texts. Even though Sada is a cursive style font it offers clearly distinguished and visually unified letter shapes in every position of a word. Glyphs are designed to be larger than usual and very clear with soft visual characteristics and many traditional Arabic calligraphic transitional features incorporated to improve legibility. Sada is a text font designed with hand held devices and ebooks in mind.
