Description

Ruwudu is a Rubutun Kano font for Ajami (Arabic script) writing systems in the Kano region of Nigeria and Niger. Ruwudu is the Manga word for "writing." This style of writing is used by the Manga people in Niger, West Africa. This font was initially designed as a lighter or companion version of Alkalami Regular.

The design of Ruwudu is loosely based on the footnotes and marginal notes from the "market edition manuscripts." These were made with a monoline tool, likely a ball point pen or something similar. It is vastly different from script traditions of the Middle East.
