Hey Fathy, amazing job. This is off topic, but your spelling of your name in arabic is weired :) Maybe you are not a native arabic speaker, so here it is with the most common spelling : فتحي

But I suspect that spelling is on purpose, because it uses the root of the word. If that's the case and there is a story you want to tell, I want to hear it :)




Thanks Slim! I'm indeed using the root of the word on purpose to ensure it splits into 5 characters, mapping 1:1 with the latin version while still showing the glyph substitution. I used the Janna LT font because it renders root words really well. I figured that most readers don't read arabic so it should get the point across haha
