Mada

Sample

Mada (مدى) is a modernist, low contrast Arabic typeface based largely on the typeface seen in Cairo metro old signage which was designed by Professor Fathi Gouda of the Faculty of Applied Arts, Helwan University.

Mada is characterised by low descenders, open contours and low contrast forms making it suitable for small point sizes, user interfaces, signage or low resolution settings.

Mada can work also as a display typeface giving modernist and simplistic feeling.

Mada is variable font that has all the font weights in the same file, and allow dynamic changes of the font weight. Font weights supported by Mada range from Extra Light to Black.

The Latin part of Mada taken from Source Sans by Paul D. Hunt.

Building

You need GNU Make and a few Python packages. To install the Python requirements, run:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Then to build the fonts:

make ttf
