Sinbad the Sailor

by Vladimir Nikolic · Website

Sinbad the Sailor is a decorative display face by Vladimir Nikolic that shapes Latin letterforms to echo the visual language of Arabic calligraphy, with ornamental curves and geometric flourishes baked into every character. The bold weight and exotic styling make it immediately recognizable, built for headlines, packaging, and themed projects that need to evoke a Middle Eastern or fantasy-adventure atmosphere without using actual Arabic script. It's a specialty face through and through, so context matters more than versatility here.
