I wanted to make a vertically heavy font, and what better sources of inspiration than Arabic script and Western typography. I think it made a good mix; it seems very desert like.

How to use: Capitals connect high, minuscules connect low, so which to use depends on the previous letter.

Would have worked better with opentype, but I have no software to do that.

On testing 'k' looks a little awkward. Here are a few alternatives, you may prefer.

Congrats for the TP! Btw, I'm with the 4th style from djnippa (you have used this curved finish form before, and it integrate the glyph a lot). The "s" and "z" glyphs maybe must need some extra tentatives, imho.

Sorry for my disastrous english. I want said tath the "s" and the"z" appears a little out of the general style to me... but I'm sure you're probed all these suggestions before share the font. Great family, great job, as usual!
