Shaqa Bovand

She is a type designer and lettering artist, born and raised in Iran. Her love of letters began at a young age when her dad bought a book titled “Secrets of Nastaliq”. After achieving both a bachelors and masters degree in Graphic Design in Iran, she began work as a brand and packaging designer. The continued love of letters apparent in her design work led her to apply for the MA Type Design course at the University of Reading. Following this she was employed by F37 and is currently working as a type designer for them on numerous scripts. Shaqa is also a lettering artist active on social media, with her artworks being used across the globe. She was also selected to talk at AtypI Paris 2023 and Type Lab 2023.
