FontCast #17 – New (type) face for Amman

In late 2008 young German type designer Yanone set out to Amman, capital of the Kingdom of Jordan, to design a bilingual Arabic/Latin typeface for the city on occasion of its centennial celebrations. FF Amman – The Film is Yanone’s brand new documentary about the making of the Amman typeface super family. It comes in a diptychon of two films: "New (type) face for Amman" (21 min) and the 1 minute high-speed pursuit "Part II". Watch out for the bonus material, e. g. the full and very interesting interview with Ahmad Humeid, CEO of the responsible branding agency SYNTAX.
