Palatino Arabic font is a winner

Thursday, April 10th, 2008

Palatino Arabic is the result of collaboration between Nadine Chahine and Prof. Hermann Zapf. Palatino Arabic is also a winner, as awarded by the annual Type Directors Club (TDC2) contest.

Ok, I don’t know one word of Arabic to save my life, so I have no idea what the Palatino Arabic type poster says - (Anyone know the translation for ‘Quick brown fox..’ ?) - but it doesn’t matter. The font is just beautiful. The negative space, kerning, weight etc. are just spot on. If only I had an Arabic job to use this font!
