AN-NAHAR NEWSPAPER


THE NEED

An-Nahar is one of the leading Arabic-language daily newspapers published in Lebanon. When the newspaper moved their offices to their new location in Downtown Beirut, they set their heart on sandblasting the front page of their most important issues since 1933, the launching date of An-Nahar, on their glass-enclosed offices.


THE EXECUTION

Precisely because some of the issues were very old and the typeface used back then no longer existed, every single letter of the complex Arabic abjad needed to be Pen Tooled. The result: two months of all-nighters.
