29LT Idris — Ascender Height Analysis:

This comparison examines ascender height relationships across the Arabic and Latin scripts within the Sharp, Flat, Pure, and Round subfamilies of 29LT Idris.

In the Arabic script, the ascender heights in the Pure and Round styles are intentionally reduced relative to those in Sharp and Flat, contributing to a more compact vertical rhythm. Conversely, in the Latin script, ascender heights remain uniform across all four stylistic variants, ensuring cross-style consistency and optical alignment within the family.

Naming the styles as Sharp, Flat, Pure, and Round instead of opting for the conventional Western typographic categorization (Serif, Sans, Slab, etc.) is an attempt to establish new typographic terms that are suitable for global scripts and extend beyond the Latin script system. This approach prioritizes the creation of new terms over the Western categorization and aims to define more neutral terms that can apply to any script, irrespective of its specific typographic characteristics.
