Nadine Chahine is a Lebanese type designer and creator of Palatino Arabic, Frutiger Arabic, and just recently, Neue Helvetica Arabic. I saw her work on I Love Typography’s Blog and was amazed by her knowledge of Arabic script and her ability to translate Helvetica’s “neutrality” typographically.

See examples of her work below.
