Letterform Frequencies: Exploring the Visual Imprint of Arabic Type was launched at ATypI Sharjah. October 28–31, 2026.
Developed during Yara Khoury Nammour’s residency at HMCT, the publication examines the visual structure of Arabic script through computational analysis of letter frequencies and recurring forms.
As part of the conference, Yara presented the research behind the book, discussing its methodology, results of the study and the proposed anatomical framework for understanding Arabic letterforms. Yara's talk was followed by a book signing at the ATypI bookstore.
Thank you to Hobb Bookstore and ATypI for hosting the signing, and to our co-publishers Khatt Books and Draw Down Books for making the publication possible. We're glad to have shared the book with the ATypI community in Sharjah.
Letterform Frequencies will soon be available through Khatt Books and Draw Down Books for online purchases.
