Neue Helvetica Arabic



This is awesome. Some years before, I was already in love with this type of typography for arabic. I'm not sure what the name of the type. It's a khat that used for many years before digital era where this new arabic typography was born. This is something new to me as I only knew that there's no new Arabic typography until I found this.
Nadine Chahine is a type designer for Linotype GmbH, where she is also Branding & CI Manager, and Arabic Specialist. She designed Frutiger Arabic with Adrian Frutiger and Palatino Arabic with Hermann Zapf, for which she won the Certificate of Excellence in Type Design from the TDC. Today I’m excited to announce that Nadine’s Neue Helvetica Arabic has just this minute been released.
