Tamman began his project, now running at 40 words, in December 2015. "The first 20 illustrations took me months, but the rest I finished in a couple of weeks," he explains to Traveler. To build Arabic Letters he pulls from the analog world and culminates it with a technological point. "First I sketch the idea on paper and then I use Adobe Illustrator."

Among the illustrations that make up the project, which Tamman hopes to continue, for now animals abound. There is also some other object. "I didn't choose them to be primarily animals, only at first I looked for short words that were easier to manipulate until it was easier for me to work with longer words.

Arabic Letters stems from Tamman's desire to experiment with Arabic typography. "I've always been fascinated by the manipulations of language and typography. I'm used to seeing similar projects or logos in English, and I wanted to see what I could do with my own language."
