Miraate مرآة (meaning “mirror” in Arabic) is a typeface that tries to bridge the gap between three different cultures, languages and scripts. In Morocco, the 3 official languages are Arabic, French and Tamazight, so the scripts used in the cities signage and in government paperwork are Arabic, Latin and Tifinagh.

The Miraate typeface was created for these different scripts to mirror one another and to encourage a coexistence of culture. Each of the scripts, Arabic, Tifinagh and Latin, draws their characteristics from their own different peculiarities to create a certain homogeneity in a visual form.
