Tanween is a visual search platform dedicated to Arabic typography. founded by
Michel Salloum and curated by
Michel Salloum and
Sarah Khorbtli.
It serves as a searchable mood-board for Arabic type designers and calligraphers, built with deep appreciation and care.
On this platform, you will find a spectrum of work, from the masterpieces of established greats to the rough and experimental, that might give a spark of inspiration to create.
What Tanween is NOT,
Tanween is not a "mark of excellence." While our catalogue features some of the finest Arabic type from incredible artists and designers, that isn't the platform's primary purpose. Although both curators share a great passion for Arabic typography, we are in no position to judge the quality of others' work, nor do we wish to. Tanween is simply inspiration fuel for arabic-type lovers.
