New Arabic Font: Salb (WIP) Looking for feedback

Bandar Raffah

!بسم الله
Salam and Hi!

This is my first post and first arabic font in the making, I am trying to finish the black version first.

Salb (a display font) wants to feel like naskh but not too much naskh, wants to feel Kufic but not too geometric, wants to feel a bit latinised but not disrespectful to it's roots, it wants to be all of them and none of them at the same time..

Images exported from Photoshop CS5 (text set to Crisp), what i see in Glyphs app (and Glyphs's Text Preview App) looks much better in terms of rendering than this specially on retina screens (I see better rhythm, optical correction and colour tone there), but judging the worst rendering might be better as a start!

Few minor things unfinished, plus the fixes i already see needed.. 

May you please give a priority to the fixes you suggest: 
High (Must fix)
Normal (Better to fix)
Low (Also fix this if you have time)

Also before telling me what's bad, tell me what's good about it if there is any!

Thanks!

Your font is OK but you had better redraw the final Ha and the Closed Ta as in my Naskh Aziz & Nask Mostafa Fonts. All the Best.

Thanks @AzizMostafa , do you mean ه ة or ـه ـة ? 

AzizMostafa AzizAli

Both! That is exactly what I meant, dear Bandar Raffah!

@AzizMostafa but these are the ones giving the font it's modern personality, they look very good to me! Otherwise the font will be just a modern geometric naskh!

AzizMostafa AzizAli

Well Bandar Raffah, the choice is yours!

Hope you expand your font to support Jawi:

Please note the correct form of the 3/4 positioned Hamza.
