I was the Arabic type consultant/specialist and associate type designer alongside Leah Hoffmitz.

Al Rouiya Arabic Type for the Al Rouiah Newspaper in Kuwait, 2008.Alef Pixel Caps Type for Alef Magazine (2008).In 2007, he created a 3-style Phoenician type family called Fniqiya.Another project of Zoghbi involves a type family being developed for newspaper headlines.In 2009, Sada was renamed FF Seria and published by FontFont. So Sada has the same feel as the Roman but is inspired from the Italic. Concerning the details of Sada and the inclined angle of the vertical strokes, it was derived from the FFSeria Italic. It had to have the same point size, line space, color, contrast and feel as FFSeria. The modifications on Massira consisted of making Sada perform like FFSeria. Accordingly, Sada is the echo of FFSeria. Echo, which is Sada in Arabic, is the repetition of a sound caused by the reflection of sound waves from a surface. Consequently, I grew confident in project and decided to use Massira as a starting point for the new Arabic companion of FFSeria. In both fonts the use of sharp broken curves and crispy feel is present. However, after taking a closer look at Martins type FFSeria and analyzing its characteristics, I noticed that the treatment of the stroke and the structure of the letters shared similarities with Massira.
