The Arabic Type Design Archive

An awarded design director and type designer hailing from Egypt and currently based in Dubai. Drawing inspiration from the rich tapestry of Cairo, my designs bridge modern trends and timeless traditions. My love for design was deepened through my experiences in branding. With my project 'Boharat', I've aimed to bring fresh perspectives to Arabic typography. My work has been adopted by a diverse range of clients, from industry giants like Nike to local businesses. It's gratifying to see my designs in various platforms, from music videos to books. Along the way, I've had the honor of collaborating with renowned entities like Puma and the Museum of the Future.
