Ms. Chahine, in the next generation of Arabic typefaces, is it possible to break away from calligraphic influences in Arabic or violate the conventions of the broadnib pen?
Whose typeface theory do you believe in?
I’m quoting this website http://www.daidala.com/25sep2002.html
Gerrit Noordzij writes “There is no essential difference between typography and handwriting.”
Fred Smeijers, on the other hand, states: ”Writing, lettering, and typography have in fact very little in common with each other, except that all three processes use the signs that we call letters.”
