BBC Arabic now with Reith

Bbc Arabic has been reithed.

A big day for font fans.
So pleased @BBCArabic has now adopted the new Reith lower third look with our new font ‘Qalam’.
Well done all at @OpsBbc for getting us there.
Looking fab. pic.twitter.com/nlvPDv7ZXM

(Kind of)

But, but...isn't that an old Gill Sans BBC News logo? ;-)

How anyone can call themselves a font fan and like BBC Reith is beyond me.

Just saying.

The countdown typeface is still in Helvetica (I think it's Helvetica) too.

I have to say I like the on-screen transition between headlines on Arabic. Looks a lot more stylish in my view and fitting with the Reith design theme than the BBC News Channel globe transition.

Missed the countdown, but here's some caps from the 16:00 GMT bulletin.

It's not been Reithed, it's been Qalamed

I completely and wholeheartedly agree!
