“While native Arabic speakers were battling an overall lack of resources and structures to design Arabic typefaces, non-natives remained comfortable doing the job—a common practice since the historical onset of ‘Arabic’ typefaces, which were produced in Europe. Much like the diverse cultures of the region, Arabic type was reduced, Orientalized, fetishized, vilified, and colonized.” https://futuress.org/stories/arabic-typography/

Please help spread the word about the Ezhishin Scholarship! This $5,000 scholarship—really more a grant than a scholarship—is for Native American and First Nation people in the US and Canada, respectively, whose creative practice explores typography, type design, or relevant linguistic work. Deadline is March 24! https://www.tdc.org/supporting-growth/scholarships

I keep thinking of Benjamin: “In all mourning there is the deepest inclination to speechlessness, which is infinitely more than inability or disinclination to communicate. That which mourns feels itself thoroughly known by the unknowable.”
