Vladimir Tamari

As a student at AUB around 1960 I was interested in the Bauhaus and felt the Arab world deserves a similar design revolution. Influenced by Eric Gill's book 'Typography' and his type-design 'Gill Sans Serif' I designed AlQuds lettering/ font and patented an idea for unified letter endings (UK 1963 see my website) and published an article about Arabic typography in 1972. Only recently have I started making AlQuds into a reality as a font. I appreciate your help and support and am amazed at this flourishing of Arabic typography.
