So Sada has the same feel as the Roman but is inspired from the Italic. Concerning the details of Sada and the inclined angle of the vertical strokes, it was derived from the FFSeria Italic. It had to have the same point size, line space, color, contrast and feel as FFSeria. The modifications on Massira consisted of making Sada perform like FFSeria. Accordingly, Sada is the echo of FFSeria. Echo, which is Sada in Arabic, is the repetition of a sound caused by the reflection of sound waves from a surface. Consequently, I grew confident in project and decided to use Massira as a starting point for the new Arabic companion of FFSeria.

In both fonts the use of sharp broken curves and crispy feel is present.

However, after taking a closer look at Martins type FFSeria and analyzing its characteristics, I noticed that the treatment of the stroke and the structure of the letters shared similarities with Massira. At first I was a bit worried due to the fact that it would be my first professional type design work and that the due date was too close. Huda AbiFares contacted me while I was finalizing Massira and presented the opportunity to collaborate with the Dutch type designer Martin Majoor to design an Arabic typeface, which is part of the Typographic Matchmaking 01 project organized by Khatt Foundation.
