This book, abundantly illustrated with examples, very clearly presents the evolution of Arab writing styles, and particularly shines light on the importance of materials used; both media and instruments, as well as the difficulties that needed resolving when printing and later with computers.
Arabic writing, from script to type, has been written not only for those interested in the extraordinary history of writing, but also graphic designers, calligraphers, and visual artists. It will enable them to judiciously use existing styles and give them a logical base for creating logotypes and new character fonts.
