I have publicly released the Potk and Borna fonts, and I designed the Ayandeh, Ali Baba, Bonyad Koodak, Fanoos, and Inverse fonts in collaboration with Reza Bakhtiari Fard. The design and creation of the Kamand font in collaboration with Omid Emamian, as well as the development of the Valman font, are among my latest activities.
