“Little dots” is inspired by the traditional Arabic calligraphy, by extracting a single and essential element of the Arabic script: the dot.

The Arabic calligraphy uses one, two or three dots to punctuate some of its letters. As a result, it ends up consisting of 28 letters, while using only 17 basic characters for their main shape. Therefore, many letters in the Arabic alphabet have a similar basic shape, but are distinguished from one another by these dots.
