Iranian Typography: A New Form of Graphic Design


I recently came a new emerging art from Iran. Iranian graphic designers are beginning to have their works more recognized outside of Iran. What really makes Iranian graphic design unique is their incorporation of traditional Farsi typography into their works. Iran has always had a deep visual history and Iranian calligraphy has evolved many times over this long history. With the introduction of Islam into Persia a strong bond was made between the two and today Persian calligraphy is an essential piece to Islamic art.

Today young graphic designers are using this ancient art as influence for there work.
