The El Hema edition of Ali Baba.
This is a joint publication of Bulaaq publishers and Mediamatic Foundation.
The book cover is designed by Huda Smitshuijzen AbiFares (in the style of the El Hema identity). The fonts used on the cover are Seria (designed by Martin Majoor) and the Arabic font Sada (designed by Pascal Zoghbi and Martin Majoor, as a matching font for Seria and as part of the Typographic Matchmaking project initiated and developed by the Khatt Foundation).
