Text in AI images: Cyrillic, Latin, and Arabic

Brief a short headline, proof an Arabic line, and leave room for final typesetting.

Start with a single poster headline. The first proof is how it reads at the size people will see it.

Give the exact wording

Quote each string separately. Specify its position, scale, and reading direction. For a bilingual poster, define separate lines and leave secondary copy out of the first brief.

Two-color cultural poster on uncoated ivory paper. Set the Arabic headline exactly as “ضوء”, with correct right-to-left shaping and native letterforms. Below it set the smaller Latin title exactly as “LIGHT”. Align both to the same right edge. Use dark cobalt type, broad margins, and no other text.

For a Cyrillic headline, begin with two words such as “ТИХИЙ ЧАС.” For packaging, proof the lettering at full size and again at listing-thumbnail size.

Proof the letters

Check word order, case, and punctuation. For Arabic, check reading direction and letter joining separately. Ask a fluent reader to proof public-facing copy. Studio’s Text & Typography recipes provide starting points for these tests.

When to typeset separately

For copy that must appear verbatim, generate a background with room for text and add the wording as an editable layer in your layout app. Choose an Arabic font and app that support right-to-left shaping and proof the export.
