Since the beginning, Palsam was planned to be an incredibly multilingual family, with a real cursive Arabic buddy, and a display cut. The typeface was developed to be used for setting text and titles of modern Arabic material, specifically publications, and sites. The Arabic and Latin scripts were created at the very same time, to make a true genuine bilingual typeface. Both scripts have impacted each other in numerous methods through the entire style process, which happened within ten years.
Palsam has a welcoming, friendly, trendy and humanist appearance. Thanks to its low contrast, open apertures, in-depth calligraphic strokes, and smooth counters, which also make it easy to read at smaller sized sizes.
The primary emphasize for Palsam was the Cursive companion. For the very first time, the calligraphic Ijaza design was used as a model for developing the Arabic cursive. Because the Ijaza is an active mix of Naskh and Thuluth, which makes it best to be a companion for the upright Naskh. Additionally this script was used in margins, and to highlight particular content inside a paragraph in older manuscripts.
With true cursive buddies in 5 weights, and many opentype features, Palsam grants all the tools needed to set complex information and editorial designs applications. More than 1000 characters are consisted of per weight, consisting of small caps, fractions, old style and lining numbers, ligatures, contextual ligatures, and discretionary ligatures. It supports over 40 languages that utilize the Latin extended, in addition to Arabic, Farsi, and Urdu Languages.
The latin script was designed in collaboration with the Slovenian type designer Alja Herlah.
