In my web search, I found Ahmad, which may be just what you're looking for. Baseet and Jumeirah by Pascal Zoghbi may also be good choices.

Of course, if I were trying simply to match all three languages, I'd probably start with the hardest one to deal with. Given that traditional Arabic faces tend to have a calligraphic appearance, I'd try to match David (as the Hebrew face) and Verona or something like that as the Latin face.
