Khwata

(pronounced kh-va-tah, meaning to combine) is a typeface that combines Assyrian and English letterforms.

When tasked with designing my own typeface, I decided to look inward towards my own culture. Assyrian letterforms are incredibly unique, so for this project I kept in mind that many people aren't familiar with the language.
Finding that right balance between Assyrian influences and the familiarity of English letters was challenging but rewarding. I intend to use this typeface in my upcoming thesis.
