This is a history of the formation of Arabic letters from the
earliest styles to modern computer fonts. This book, abundantly
illustrated with examples of Arabic handwriting, calligraphy, and
typography, clearly presents the development of Arabic writing
styles, from the beginning with reed pens to twenty-first century
computerized typesetting. The author explains the importance of
writing instruments and the surfaces onto which letters are
inscribed, including the particular challenges introduced with the
innovation of the printing press, and later the computer. "Arabic
Writing" will interest not only those interested in the
extraordinary history of writing, but also graphic designers,
calligraphers, and visual artists, enabling an understanding of the
development of existing styles, and providing a foundation from
which new logotypes and character fonts can be designed.
