About Modern Kufi Branding
Modern Kufi Branding is the studio language of the contemporary Gulf and Levant: square, modular Kufic Arabic treated as architecture, set against a strict monochrome white-on-near-black ground. Letterforms are built from squares, baselines align across Arabic and Latin, and restraint is the whole point.
Pioneered through type houses like 29LT and typefaces like Reem Kufi, this system pairs geometric Arabic display with clean Latin in rigorous bilingual grids. Color is withheld to a single muted gold or red, so the writing itself carries the identity.
