"Mourad Boutros, author of Arabic for Designers, enlists his professional peers to examine the global context for Arabic design and typography. The thematic thread that runs through every article, case study and illustration is how technological advances have furthered, and changed, the use of Arabic throughout the world, whether it is printed or found online. Detailed accounts of how advances in font technology have permitted digitized Arabic to accurately represent the Arabic calligraphic tradition provides a discourse for non-Arabic speakers to consider the language s cultural, religious and aesthetic issues in a 21st century context."--BOOK JACKET.
