Expert typesetting in Arabic

Our in-house studio provides a fast, economic service and takes pride in its reputation for precision and accuracy. With decades of experience and an impressive array of Arabic fonts, we can rework your publication in Arabic, whilst preserving the style and spirit of the original design.

From advising on the language implications of your initial designs through to producing print-ready PDFs, our studio’s expertise ensures your project is in great hands and guarantees polished Arabic layouts.

Your typeset Arabic document will be supplied back to you in an easy to use format, such as high resolution PDF or outlined text.

For complete peace of mind, you may prefer WorldAccent to provide the Arabic translation. This synergy allows us to deliver the maximum benefits of our efficient workflow and cutting edge technology, saving you time and money in the process.

Arabic page layout problems solved

Producing a publication in Arabic can present challenges unfamiliar to those more used to European languages. Arabic text reads from right to left, so the layout of a spread must too – thereby presenting page items to an Arabic speaker in the same reading order as the English original. Our studio work with this reversing of layouts every day, providing you with the best options for your Arabic design.

We typeset Arabic ourselves, which means we can respond quickly to amendments or queries. This also allows us to advise you during your design process of any potential pitfalls. In some cases, we can even point out advantages of Arabic reading from right to left. For instance, it is possible to produce a bilingual brochure in English and Arabic with each language having its own correctly positioned front cover, reading into the middle.

We have all the technical expertise you need: an in-depth understanding of the Arabic writing system, Arabic typographic conventions, typefaces and fonts, and an authoritative knowledge of how to typeset Arabic using InDesign, Illustrator, Word, Photoshop, Powerpoint, and more.

Whether you need one word, a brochure, or an entire book, you can be confident of top quality Arabic typesetting delivered punctually and in a manner to suit your workflow.

In this piece of Arabic typesetting, London’s outline does not flip, even though the rest of the layout does in order to preserve the right-to-left reading order.

Selecting the best Arabic font

Even though the Arabic script is very different from the Roman one, when it comes to selecting an Arabic font for typesetting, many of the same criteria apply: an end client’s preferences, the “feel” a designer intends to convey, the space available, printing constraints, and so on.

Our experienced team will help you choose a suitable Arabic font from our extensive collection, or we can select one ourselves whilst working to your brief.
