<p>This series focuses on inspiring design achievements from the Arab world. Lebanese architect-typographer Nasri Khattar was motivated by the postcolonial project of modernity. As part of the 1930s language and script reform project in Cairo, he focused on the technological and aesthetic reform of Arabic script. With a reduced set of 30 Unified Arabic letters, he strove to democratise knowledge, making reading Arabic easier to learn, and the production and typesetting of Arabic texts more efficient. This richly illustrated monograph presents his lifes work, placing it within the context of the Arabic alphabets history and typographic evolution.</p>

<p>Lebanese graphic designer, painter, art critic, and writer Emile Menhem became involved in politics at a young age and joined the creative team at the United Palestinian Press in the late 1970s, where he designed and illustrated an impressive number of posters, books, and printed matter. Following the invasion of Lebanon in 1982, he fled to Paris along with numerous other Arab intellectuals, where his designs for various magazines contributed significantly to shaping Arab thought during the 1980s and 90s. He has since remained a prolific graphic designer, which is why this book offers a fascinating and extensive insight into his creative and political mind through the years.</p>
