Damavand
Damavand is a Multi-Script Arabic typeface specifically designed for the use of official titles. The primary focus in designing the Arabic letters was to achieve a sense of balance between the positive and negative spaces within the characters, particularly in the eyes and bowls. In the case of the Latin letters, efforts were made to create a harmonious visual connection with the Persian letters, ensuring optimal harmony in bilingual texts.
The outcome of this design endeavor is a non-fantasy typeface with a bold weight and a composed tone, intended for official and serious headlines. It was aptly named Damavand, paying homage to the resilience and uniqueness of Iran's highest peak.
Damavand typeface is characterized by its consistent visual tone and commanding presence. It embodies a formal spirit while avoiding fanciful and exaggerated forms. This typeface is highly recommended for use in the press, particularly for large official headlines, with a minimum suggested size of 24 points. It offers a strong visual impact and is well-suited for conveying authority and importance.
