ABOUT

Lara Captan

Graphic designer from Lebanon who is/was based in Amsterdam. She taught design and typography at the American University of Beirut until she moved to The Netherlands where she became an apprentice in DecoType's ACE technology for Arabic type. She says that she refused to design any typeface before having sufficient knowledge over the history and mechanics of the script. In 2018, she is working on an ACE-engined Arabic type family, with support from the Creative Industries Fund NL.

Creator of the angular chancery typeface Cancellarecta (2012) at The Cooper Union. She graduated from Escola de Disseny i Art in Barcelona. Speaker at ATypI 2018 in Antwerp.

Award winner at 25 TDC in 2022 for Youtube Sans Arabic, a member of an increasingly larger multi-script family. The typeface spans across ten weights and includes Sans, Rounded, and a Grades version. It was developed together with Khaled Hosny (font engineer), David Berlow (consultant), Dave Crossland (manager) and Chris Bettig (creative director).
