29LT BASEET: A Dynamic and Energetic Type Systems

29LT Baseet is a present-day simplified typeface drawn with extreme refinement. Its mono-linear structure unveils causality within a relaxed atmosphere. The font’s name suits well its main characteristic, as it embodies simplicity. It features a blend of straight vertical, horizontal, and diagonal letter structures fused in-between curved smooth corners and sharp edges, giving the typeface a dynamic trait and an energetic feel. Besides, its round terminals and monospaced Latin letters lend the font a friendly vibe.

29LT Baseet is a type family created with a maximum legibility focus and an ease of usability mindset, in which Arabic and Latin scripts are harmoniously paired thanks to a design that is driven by mutual inspiration. The arrangement of the Arabic letterforms expresses modernity while retaining its connection to traditional calligraphy. On the other hand, the Latin’s design is a throwback to the monospaced or monotype fonts created in the early 1900s for typesetting machines and typewriters.

WHY IT IS A TOP PICK
29LT Baseet is driven by the idea that less is more. The design elements are pared down to the essential. The fonts were designed within a simplified Arabic character set and a monospaced Latin design, along with rounded terminals, enhancing the script’s simplicity and friendly appeal. All of these qualities make Baseet suitable for a diverse range of projects, from fun and urban to serious and corporate ones.
