Add decorative Arabic letters to your designs: single characters drawn in Arabic script on transparent backgrounds to build a name, monogram or bold title.
Start designingHow do you build a name from individual letters?
Pick the letters and set them in the name's order, then tighten the spacing until their strokes meet as they would in joined Arabic script. Spaced apart they read as a row rather than a name; the closeness is what gives them flow.
What can you design with them?
Names and monograms in Arabic lettering
Titles and covers built on one letter
Logos and stamps based on a character
Single letter prints to hang
Decorative lettering for cards and invitations
Which letter should lead the design?
The name's first letter if it has visual reach, such as alif, lam or meem, since those carry a design alone. Short letters like ba and noon work better inside a composition than as a single large element.
