Introduced by type designer, librarian, and system engineer, Saad D. Abulhab, in the year 2000, the Mutamathil type style is a design style intended for the creation of generic, calligraphy-free, Arabetic typefaces and font families. The main goal of this style is to enrich and diversify the options available today to both users and vendors to render and print Arabetic scripts. The principles of the Mutamathil type style design address the challenges of literacy, education, economics, technology, globalism, competition, as well as legibility. With its open design approach, it includes three design styles: the right to left "Mutamathil" and "Mutamathil Taqlidi", and the bi-directional "Mutamathil Mutlaq." "Mutamathil" and "Mutamathil Mutlaq" have only one glyph (shape) per letter. "Mutamathil Taqlidi" has additional final-position glyphs for all letters that may traditionally join other letters from both sides. Also, both "Mutamathil" and "Mutamathil Taqlidi" include optional Lam-Alif ligatures.  >>>
