An alternate for Persian braille
SepidKhan: An alternate for Persian/Arabic braille After seeing the complexity of Persian braille and the great idea of Elia Life Technology for the English (Latin) braille, I have decided to do a Persian version of their work. I have contacted the CEO of Elia Life and I have sent some info, etudes and other stuff so maybe we could bring a Persian version of Elia to life. So I started form where they finished! I have designed non-cursive Persian fonts before which I have posted about them here on Dribbble before, so I thought it is something that I should do, if only there is 1% chance that it could be used someday. I minimized the Persian letters based on the original alphabet using the frames as a help. You can see the letters and their equivalents in below pictures: Dots! Half of the Persian letters have dots. Dots is very important in Persian alphabet, because unlike Latin we have some groups of totally identical letters that the only thing that separate them from each other are their dots. Persian letters could have one, two or three dots.
So I thought we could minimize the letters that has dots to their dots with a little help from the ‘frames’.
We not only preserve the groups of similar letters by making them look-alike, but also make the learning experience easier, because you learn ب for example and you can read پ, ت and ث.

You can download the font as well. It's OpenSource :) Please let me know what you think about all of this.
