Subject:New Brill Typefaces Combined with DecoType Arabic in New Book

Dear colleagues,

A recently published book for the first time combines John Hudson's
new Brill typeface with Arabic. The Brill typeface was especially
commissioned by Brill Publishers of Leyden to streamline and
standardise editing, printing and web publishing of academic studies
with an elegant typeface that contains all the Latin, Greek and Slavic
Cyrillic characters, while the Latin character set covers the
transcription of any language from any period, using modern character
encoding standards (Unicode) and modern technology (OpenType):

The matching Arabic typefaces are by DecoType. Some impressions of the
typography by Lara Captan, who set a new standard of quality for
typesetting distich poetry:
