Nope, Not Arabic

quote [ Nope, Not Arabic is an archive of things that are not Arabic. It documents instances of butchered Arabic script in public, from major motion pictures to billboards to video games and everything in between. ]

lol. Some of these seem like they'd be pretty important.

Same. From what I understand, while this complaint is often voiced about plainly wrong type (and I'm guilty of copy-pasting Arabic letters, too) the blog is concerned about typesetting, too: not breaking up the flow of letters with spacing and favouring readable typesets instead of perceived prettiness without actually being able to read it.
