What you seeThe twenty-eight Arabic letters in their usual order on cream tiles against rose, read from right to left and numbered. Letters that share a shape, such as ba, ta and tha, share a colour.

What it meansThe modern order groups letters by shape, which is why ba, ta and tha sit together and are told apart only by their dots. The older abjad order follows the Semitic alphabet instead. The letters are set in the Amiri typeface.

Where it worksA bright, friendly plate for a child's room, a classroom or a kitchen.
