Typography is the art and technique of arranging forms to make written language legible, reading and appealing. It has developed rapidly over the last few years through the experimentation of digital drawings, graphic design and infographics. Afreen Fazil’s final project explores the evolution of Arabic typography from angular Phoenician texts to the current cursive Arabic scripts as well as digital age calligraphy. Fazil’s main focus is on the evolution of the alphabet – how it has developed and changed shape over centuries – whilst exploring how the invention of new technologies pushes written languages into something altogether new. The pieces tell a story through comparative contrast and transitions.
