Ravi
Ravi’s young, energetic, and has an up to date personality. It’s so charming that it could steal your attention on social media and causes crashes and death if used in outdoor advertising.
While designing the typeface, all I cared about was its legibility and readability, and I’m not exaggerating when I say I tested and edited it on print and web area in many different ways and scales for tens of times. Therefore, you can trust it to be used in long body texts, websites, catalogs, and magazines.
Ravi has short ascenders, small bowls, and a perfectly united structure, and is a good choice for UI designing. With tall teeth, big counters, and low contrast in thickness, it’s a good match for the Latin letters.
I started designing the typeface in 2010, on Designing Farsi Typeface course in Vije School, but edited and completed the characters and weights until 2013. In 2023, I completely updated the typeface. Ravi has eight weights and variable font. I used Kanit open source for Latin.
Ravi has achieved two honors:
- Second place in Eghtesad-e Novin Bank Typeface Design (Vije School 2012)
- First place in Silver Cypress (International Farsi Typeface Design Exhibition, text category) (Iranian Graphic Designers Society, 2013)
