Verena Gerlach

The German artist Verena Gerlach created the font Linotype Pide Nashi™ in 1997. Linotype Pide Nashi is part of the TakeType Library, chosen from the entries of the Linotype sponsored International Digital Type Design Contests of 1994 and 1997. German artist Verena Gerlach created a typeface which looks almost like Arabic at the first glance, only with the second do the familiar forms become clear. Rounded lower case letters, generous, sweeping capitals and diamond-shaped ornaments give the font its Arabic feel. The exotic Linotype Pide Nashi is best suited for short and middle length texts and headlines and especially for ornamental texts.
