Featured in Typography 3 book

As the only Arabic typographic work to feature in the book, Ruh is pleased to be able to help promote the beautiful aesthetics and flexibility of Arabic typography. The unique Kufic-inspired typeface entitled ‘Spirit’ is beautifully demonstrated in four unique photographic compositions that involve dynamic dance moves with letterforms. Additionally the popular Arabic Didot typeface is featured, which got significant recognition for mixing two very different traditions into one typeface.

With previous work being extensively featured in Arabesque and Arabesque 2 by Gestalten, Ruh is quite honoured to have recognition of his work.

The following are some samples of the work featured:
