Our article on African ʿajamī is available online now and in print in 2024. It's a chapter amongst others written by scholars in a special two-issue series of “Islamic Africa” from Brill, edited by Fallou Ngom et al. @Brill_ME_Africa tinyurl.com/5fvbwkfh
Important moment in one of our pro bono projects: The N’ko script has attained “Basic” status in Unicode CLDR, a requirement just for being selectable on phones as a language. Neil worked with N'ko development org. leaders & acted as liaison to Unicode. tinyurl.com/4afuzspe
“Anyanwụ,” an Igbo story book written by Obiora Nwazota and published by Ọkpara House, uses our typeface Kigelia throughout. It features delightful illustrations by Ben Onuorah. Pics of inside pages on Instagram: instagram.com/p/Cx5yZTTu2uB/
Just released CLDR v44 alpha, so time for testing *before* it shows up in all the modern operating systems. Adding a new batch of DDLs (digitally disadvantaged languages) blog.unicode.org/2023/09/unicod…
Since the beginning of the year I've been researching the usage, encoding and online implementation of African scripts for Unicode. With the help of @zenodotus @neilspatel @ethiopic & @TBAlphabets, here's an exhaustive list of ~75 African scripts: unicode.org/L2/L2023/23203…
IDEA magazine’s latest issue looks at the work of Toshi Omagari @Tosche_E, the field of international type design, and features an article about our Kigelia typeface family for Africa. idea-mag.com/en/idea_magazi…
ADLaM Display, the font we designed with @andrew_footit for @Microsoft, is available now @googlefonts. Its ADLaM and Latin complements have quickly become popular in the Fulani community in West Africa. fonts.google.com/specimen/ADLaM…
Neil gave a workshop in the “ADLaM Romanization for Library Cataloging” webinar by @librarycongress and @ALALibrary. The video is online here: tinyurl.com/mun57p8t Neil’s workshop, “Technological Tools: Development and Demonstrations,” is at 22:52 – 36:16.
Just finished (for now): the first digital fonts of the Gbékoun writing system, produced under the guidance from the Fon community in the West African country of Benin. We followed up with a keyboard, also to their specs, to make text input and digital content creation possible.
Latin complement now added to the ADLaM Display font we did for Microsoft. Designed to work with the ADLaM complement. The font can be downloaded at this link: bit.ly/423RsLY While you’re there, read the fascinating story and watch the videos about the ADLaM script!
New in the Google Play Store: the keyboard we developed for using the fonts we made of the Sunuwar script of Eastern Nepal and Sikkim, India. play.google.com/store/apps/det…
Right-to-left, connected scripts began performing much better in Adobe products last year, so we’re pleased to announce that we’ve added Kigelia’s Adlam and N’ko complements to our offering at @AdobeFonts . The entire family is available now. fonts.adobe.com/foundries/jamr…
Excellent meeting with the National Directorate of Literacy, Non-Formal Education and the Promotion of National Languages in Guinea this morning. facebook.com/10000008700835…
An engaging article about our friend Fallou Ngom, who was an important advisor to us when we were designing Kigelia Arabic. It's great to see word is getting out about his vital research on African Ajami.

Videos of children learning to read Adlam – and the texts are set in our Kigelia typeface. This makes all the work worthwhile; this makes our day today.
One week to go until #Ezhishin! The first-ever Native North American Typography conference. Featuring @calligraphio, @tulseytype, @JamraPatel, @Lett_Arc, @jbravescout, @TiroTypeworks, @BSkeetDesign, @PeoplesGDArc,@SeesTheEnemy, and many more. 🟣 typedrivesculture.com/ezhishin/
The newly released ADLaM Display font by Microsoft at the Guinea Independence Day celebration
We just stumbled across someone selling our booklet "Kigelia - A Typeface for Africa" on eBay for $50! We would like to remind everyone that the booklet is still available from us for $0 + the price of postage. jamra-patel.com/booklet/kigeli…
