Typography

Explore the world

They say an image is worth a thousand words. But typographic art can carry more than words, it can convey feelings, meaning, time, or even an entire nation’s culture. Through my Arabic type experiments I look for words or phrases that can impact people’s lives by invoking good feelings. Let’s see how diversity in typography and scripts can open conversations across nations worldwide. Share a typography piece that you have created or admire—in your own language or another—that brings up good feelings for you.

Thank you everyone for being part of this journey so far and I look forward to the next conversation.

Mohamed Samir

It's great to see how Typography plays a role in communicating our cultures' diversity. Happy to see Arabic, English, Chinese, Japanese &Spanish-covering topics like manners, inclusivity, self-expression &others. Though, I still think we can do more to show international scripts.

Mohamed Samir

@djama.o5 Indeed! It is best communicator for nations' cultures and history.

Mohamed Samir

@Kashka Thanks alot. Really glad to hear this. I hope to see more and more typography work for all international scripts. It helps enriching the design culture in the world.

Mohamed, thank you so much for showing us the beauty of the Arabic language. I don't think we see it enough and you do it so well with such wonderful color combinations, dimensionality, and composition. They are truly pieces of art.

Mohamed Samir

@Kashka These are beautiful. I specifically like the first "Blood, Sweat, ...Trophies". It is clever to use the colours/forms that represent each word & it also emphasizes on part of the culture that we all live in today - "It takes alot to stand out". Thanks for sharing!

Hey!

Mohamed Samir

@vasavastudio Thank you so much! I absolutely love your poster. Vertical typography and comics are no doubt two of the strongest features in the Japanese design and they are both beautifully executed in your piece.

Mohamed Samir

@byfarahmh Thank you for sharing. That's quite a deep quote you shared (Don't volunteer too much so it become an expectation)! :) Although I see this may be somehow contradicting with the generosity aspect in Arab culture.

Mohamed Samir

@birgitpalma Thank you so much for sharing. I like how subtle you embedded not only the Japanese letters but also what "Japan" feels/means to you throughout both the composition & colours.

Mohamed Samir

@kattphatt Absolutely love it! The message could be as simple as expressing the love of letterforms.

Mohamed Samir

@_albertoherrero I see the connection between "figuring it out" and the solution by literally going with the "flow" using water as a treatment. Loving the lettering work too. Asombrosa!

Mohamed Samir

@nicolas.korek The idea of communicating not only the written forms of languages (scripts), but also any language - with its broader meaning - is quite nice!

Mohamed Samir

@_johnptree_ Interesting to have the concept communicated clearly in the usage of Type. I wonder what does it say?
