A rare example of an Arabic logo being adapted to Latin, for the cover of Ahmed el-Maanouni’s documentary on the legendary Moroccan band Nass el-Ghiwane. The filmmaker’s name (احمد المعنوني) and the film’s Arabic title (الحال) are set in the Maghrebi-style SF Mabsut, paying tribute to Morocco’s unique calligraphic heritage. “A film by Ahmed el Maanouni” is set in a font that strongly resembles but seemingly is not Nassim extrabold.

“A FILM BY…” seems to be set in Inknut Antiqua Bold.
Good catch! Thanks, Riccardo.
