The Arabic Type Archive

Masters in Type Design at the University of Reading in 2016 and joined us as a fully fledged Lazydog in 2020. Kat has worked as a typographer and graphic designer before she went on to study type design at the University of Reading in 2015/16. She not only works as a type designer and design director, but also teaches typography at the DIPLOMA University of Applied Sciences and has been part of numerous design conference teams (Granshan, EDCH, Dynamic Font Day). As a graduate of the MATD she brings an international approach and outlook to our company. Besides a love of letters with diacritics she is interested in writing systems beyond Latin, particularly Cyrillic and Arabic – and she is officially responsible for our Lazydogs’ Capital Eszett glyphs. In addition to those official duties, the freshest kat in our dog house also entertains us with type designers’ gossip from the social media realm and the hottest stories from Munich’s graphic design scene.
