He holds both an MA and a PhD in Typeface Design from the University of Reading, where his doctoral research examined the diversity of Arabic type styles and their influence on Arab readership.

I have a degree in Graphic Design and have been a member of the Iranian Graphic Designers Society (since 1987). I am involved in typeface design, font development, and logotype design. 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. I have held various workshops and courses in the field of typography, and I received the third Grand Prize at the 2021-2022 Granshan competition in Armenia for the Ali Baba font and a special award for the Potk font.
