Type suggestions for project on Morocco

arikawa

Hi everyone. Thanks in advance for any assistance you may be able to give.

I’m working on a (student) project where I’ll be creating a small exhibition
space describing some aspects of Maroc.

While I will have some arabic text (for atmosphere), this exhibit would be
geared to the English speaker, so I’ll need an English-langage typeface to
deliver my information.

I’ll be discussing primarily the people and crafts of the country — and not
the showcardianism of Bogey’s Casablanca, et al.

Any suggestions for type that might have some interesting features but
remain readable? A touch of the arabesque without being campy?

Thanks again.

Will there be lots of text to read? Is there a catalog, or just signage? Point sizes, media, lighting, etc.?
