FF Amman is one of the largest bilingual families ever made, one of the few designed bilingually from scratch and the first containing true Arabic italics.

The project began as Yanone’s graduation project at Bauhaus University in Weimar, Germany. In late 2008, Yanone set out to Amman, the capital of Jordan, to re-brand the municipality in preparation of its centennial celebrations. The typeface with several typographic novelties has been used widely for all kinds of municipal services in Amman. The family consists of seven sans and four serif weights, each with their true italics and both Latin and Arabic character sets.
