The Râbita (رابطة) is the deep bond between teacher and disciple that transcends the personality, and can exist without them ever meeting.
I was hoping for a design that would express the closeness of that relationship, but didn’t expect the letters to lend themselves to such “geometric intimacy” – not only fitting together completely, but also pairing up to form perfect arcs.
