David Jonathan Ross: The ups and downs of vertical typography
Local liquor stores can be the start of great things. For David Jonathan Ross they were the start of an in-depth exploration into the realm of vertical letterforms. His analysis of shop signage in the urban landscape, as well as the technical and aesthetic challenges when vertically drawing letters and setting type resulted in the typeface “Bungee”.

Workshop: Breaking Borders – A Collective Arabic Stencil Workshop with Lara Captan
Kufic is the oldest Arabic script and is deeply rooted in the Islam. Still it is unclear to this day how calligraphers and professional copyists exactly wrote it. Based on this question, participants of this workshop were asked to interpret the Kufic letterforms and in the end create stencils out of it.
Workshop: Bilingual Arabic & Latin Monogram Design
When it comes to Arabic logo design, you will most often find it accompanied by Latin text. But it takes a great deal of sensitivity to combine two different scripts into a harmonic design. During the Bilingual Arabic & Latin Monogram Design workshop, Tarek Atrissi challenged the participants to meld Latin and Arabic characters into unique and aesthetically pleasing typographical designs.
