From the foundry
Palatino Arabic is a collaboration between Lebanese designer Nadine Chahine and Prof. Hermann Zapf, based on the Al-Ahram typeface designed by Zapf in 1956 but reworked to fit the Palatino nova family. The design is Naskh in style with strong Thuluth influence, featuring swash-like finials and wide proportions, designed for use in print in both large and small sizes.
