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.

I’m not sure if there is something this woman cannot do.  A talented typographer, illustrator, and designer, she has a way of delivering intelligence and sophisticated style in each project she creates.  To see more of her work, visit her site.  Her capital letters can be purchased here in large printed format and make a fun and personalized gift!
