Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolShahab Siavash is a Canadian-based founder, typographer and graphic designer with over 15 years of creative practice and 9 years of professional experience building and licensing innovative Persian/Arabic and Latin typefaces. He founded Si47ash Fonts Foundry and the Si47ash font store, producing 30+ distinct fonts—many experimental (dirty, non‑cursive, chromatic)—and earning features on Behance, Microsoft, MyFonts, Linotype and academic sites like McGill. An awarded critic, juror and author of three books, his work has been exhibited internationally and published in books across Iran, the UK, France and the USA. He combines hands‑on type design, visual identity and web management (WordPress) with a research-minded approach to script innovation. Less obvious: he leverages a background in surveying and long-form writing to inform meticulous, structurally driven letterforms and editorial projects.
