The Nassim typeface family has been awarded another design prize.

After receiving prior honours from the Type Directors Club and the European Design Awards in 2007, and the London-based Design Museum in 2008, Nassim features now among the 53 entries that have been selected for their design excellence by the ATypI jury, formed of prominent designers and consultants. The winners of the Letter.2 competition were chosen from a total of 561 submissions from across the globe. We are delighted to see Nassim among this crowd of excellent designs.

This prize for Nassim recognises its latest incarnation, the first release in the OpenType format through the Rosetta type foundry. This latest version benefited from the experience of designing dedicated version for the BBC Wordservice’s various language sites and is the first time Nassim is made available in a format compatible with a wide range of platforms and applications.

Rosetta is currently offering a special discount on its Arabic type range, an offer that ends on 5. November! (This is an edit to the prior date). Just use the following code to get 22% off your license purchase: 683e650a.
