Etar87 previously named QFRL100

Etar87



Inspiration

I’m excited to announce that QFRL100 will now be called Etar87. QFRL100 name was given by me to the project as a joke (or obviously I am bad at naming projects only .
So what does Etar mean?
Etar(إطار) means in Arabic: whatever covers the outside of a thing, similar to a "border", reflecting both the keyboard engraving design language and its cultural roots to the designer. The name pays homage to the beauty of Arabic architecture and calligraphy, much like the V1 Arch did.
For those familiar with my work, this theme isn’t new as I always try to add some details of things that impacted me.
