About

A movement for developing Arabic script

Designers face difficulties obtaining certain typographical effects when working with the Arabic script. Therefore, the main objective behind Typopath is to create a generative tool that helps Arab designers experiment with the script.

The tool attempts to resolve the problem using a simplified interface and an online archive highlighting the reoccurring issues for experts to contribute in the design, computer science & creative coding community.

I am an individual Graphic Designer from the American University of Sharjah. My research include areas such as Arabic type and various design tools/media. Through my research, I aspire to motivate designers to not rely on the tools that are presented to them, and to challenge the notion of what a designer can and can not do. By creating my own tool, I would like to motivate fellow designers to get creative in their approaches of tackling their design problems.more
