πŸ’ͺ🏻 THE Font For Every Moroccan

OmniversifyFont

**OmniversifyFont** is a modern multilingual typeface designed to bridge cultures and scripts. It uniquely combines **Latin (English)**, **Arabic (Moroccan/Maghrebi script)**, and **Tamazight (Tifinagh script)** into a cohesive, high-performance font family.

Inspired by the rich architectural and calligraphic heritage of Morocco, OmniversifyFont brings a "Moroccan Luxury" aesthetic to digital typography, ensuring legibility and elegance across diverse linguistic landscapes.


🌍 Supported Scripts

OmniversifyFont is built on the philosophy of universal connectivity:

πŸ‡¦πŸ”€ Latin (English)

Modern, clean, and highly legible. Designed to complement the organic flow of Arabic and the geometric precision of Tifinagh.

πŸ‡²πŸ‡¦ Arabic (Moroccan Maghrebi)

Dedicated to the traditional Moroccan Maghrebi script, characterized by its distinctive roundness and unique diacritic placements, optimized for modern digital displays without losing its calligraphic soul.

β΅£ Tamazight (Tifinagh)

Honoring the ancestral script of North Africa. The Tifinagh characters are designed with a balance of geometric tradition and modern clarity, making it suitable for both headlines and body text.


✨ Key Features

  • Harmonious Multi-script Design: Consistent weight and optical balance across all three scripts.
  • Moroccan Aesthetic: Subtle nods to Moroccan artistry and geometry.
  • Modern Performance: Optimized for web, mobile, and print applications.
  • OpenType Support: Advanced features for ligature handling and script switching.

πŸ™ Thanks & Credits

This font draws inspiration from numerous open-source and community-driven projects. Special thanks to:

  • IRCAM (Institut Royal de la Culture Amazighe) for their pioneering work in standardizing and digitizing the Tifinagh script, having released over 25 Unicode-encoded Tifinagh fonts available for free download from their website and documented at ScriptSource

  • Google Fonts for providing high-quality open-source fonts like Noto Sans Arabic, Noto Sans Tifinagh, Cairo, Roboto, Tajawal, and many others that served as technical references

  • Achamel Soft for the Maghribi Assile font, an important reference for Maghrebi Arabic calligraphy

  • Bouazzi for their Maghribi font contributions

  • Samir Khouaja for Maghribi font designs

  • The ArabSwells community for arabicswell_1.ttf

  • Various open-source Maghribi and Tifinagh fonts in the inspirations folder that helped shape our understanding of North African scripts

  • Academic researchers whose work like "Tifinagh & the IRCAM, Explorations in Cursiveness and Bicamelarism in the Tifinagh script" (available via Academia.edu) provided crucial context

  • fontamin for the AutoMark script, which automatically added OpenType GPOS lookups for Arabic diacritic positioning (mark and mkmk features).
