Abstract

The design of Arabic typefaces is one of the most crucial elements in visual communication. It provides graphic designers with a powerful visual language for their designs. In this respect, it plays an effective role in establishing intellectual connections and solidifying the symbols of visual identity in modern Arabic letter design.

This research aims to investigate the academic development level of graphic design students through the process of designing Modern Arabic typefaces to enhance their designs. Furthermore, it aims to analyze the most significant formal, expressive, and technical features involved in Arabic typeface design. Significantly, it addressed the criteria for designing modern Arabic typefaces. The research methodology involved the analysis of samples of modern Arabic typeface designs created by students in the Graphic Design Department at Al-Ahliyya Amman University in Jordan. The results confirmed the academic progress of graphic design students who added modern and diverse typefaces to the digital library, contributing to the enrichment of digital content. This underscores the importance of teaching Arabic typeface design in all graphic design departments and emphasizes the artistic and aesthetic elements of modern Arabic typography design. These elements play a significant role in engaging the audience with distinctive Arabic graphic designs.
