Professional editorial and book design with a deep focus on Arabic typography, bilingual layouts, and long-form readability across print and digital publications.
This work focuses on designing long-form publications where content, typography, and hierarchy must work together over dozens or hundreds of pages. The approach prioritizes clarity, reading comfort, and cultural accuracy, especially when working with Arabic or bilingual content.
Unlike short-form marketing layouts, editorial and book design requires deep understanding of typographic rhythm, page logic, and narrative flow.
Designing Arabic editorial content requires more than layout skills. It requires a deep understanding of how Arabic text behaves across long-form reading.
Arabic layouts are built with respect for classical typographic rules. The text is treated as a primary reading system, not decoration, to maintain clarity, rhythm, and readability across print and digital.
Editorial design is built as a system. The process below keeps Arabic-first readability, production accuracy, and consistency across long documents.
Define hierarchy, grid, margins, and reading rhythm. Establish chapter logic and page templates.
Select and tune Arabic and Latin type. Control spacing, line length, and density for long-form comfort.
Prepare files for print and digital. Ensure consistency, preflight checks, and safe handover to publishers.
