Seen as in seen by your eyes despite the gaps and hidden intersections in the letters. Seen (س) is also the 12th letter in the Arabic alphabets. Seen is the name for the typeface I’m working on.
I enjoyed working on the letter (haa’). I have gone back and forth with tweaking to achieve what you see here. I think it still needs some more refinements once I have more letters to compare with. The goal is to achieve harmony and a balanced overall colour. You can also see some of the specs (or rules) of the typeface that I set for myself to follow in all letters.
Testing weights for my new Arabic Stencil typeface. I completely redrew the letters to achieve what you see here. I have made the bolder weights with higher x-height to optically adjust the size. Otherwise the letter “حـ” for example will look smaller in Bold than Thin and Light. I’m thinking about these 4 weights with little adjustment along the way.
The typeface is coming along nicely. Still early work in progress. For example the gaps need a lot of work. Once I have enough letters I will start the adjustments (true and optical). This is a display typeface, so I’m trying to balance between legibility and style. I’m planning a few weights, it’ll become clear once I have finished the basic forms of all letters.
