The Name

A tatami (畳) is a type of mat used as a flooring material in traditional Japanese-style rooms.Tatami are made in standard sizes, with the length exactly twice the width, an aspect ratio of 2:1
The term tatami is derived from the verb tatamu (畳む), meaning to fold or pile. The name Tatamigram is derived from reference to the famous Tangram puzzle.

The Tatamigram Brand uses the Font 'Ali' by Philippe Apeloig.
