Type & Politics | Freeing Arabic Type from ideological connotations

Unlike when spotting Japanese letters Arabic Type tends to evoke emotions these days. Letters itself as an abstract writing system are not capable of this. More than ever our perceptions are being influenced by social, political and cultural tensions. We organize workshops and lectures to ease this by encouraging cultural exchange and transfer of knowledge.

Many parameters don’t make Arabic type just appear strange and exotic like many other non-latin alphabets but rather create bad feelings and marginalise its cultural value.
