Simplified Arabic (called Yakout since 1967) is a simplified Arabic font that allowed Arabic text to be composed using a Linotype machine. It was first announced in 1959 as Mrowa-Linotype Simplified Arabic. The font was developed by Kamel Mrowa, , and staff under the guidance of Walter Tracy. The Simplified Arabic font reduced the number of characters necessary to compose Arabic, allowing it to fit into the Linotype machine's single 90-channel magazine. The font became one of the most widely used typefaces for composing Arabic newspapers.
