5.0 out of 5 stars
An excellent first on the subject,
By Ahmad Humeid (Amman, Jordan) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Arabic Typography (Paperback)
Not only does this book provide an excellent overview of the history of Arabic script and printing, but it also lays out a vision and guidelines for the development of contemporary Arabic fonts. The book also focuses on the history and state of Arabic printing (as opposed to Arabic calligraphy), and highlights the technical challenges that arose from the adoption of what essentially is a calligraphic script to mechanical (or digital) printing processes.The book ends with a selection of type designs by contemporary Arab type designers, which gives the reader a feel of what is happening out there in this field. I recommend this (beatifully designed) book to anyone who deals with Arabic publishing, design or type design. |
