Typeface Documentary-Mirsaal

Mirsaal is an experimental typeface created by Rana Abou Rjeily, a graphic designer in Beirut. Her book 'Cultural Connectives' details the font she created to simplify learning Arabic. I created a typeface documentary presenting the book, the typeface and a brief history of Arabic as a typeface.
