Editorial and Illustration — “Tarkib” captures the hidden aesthetic of language. In the Islamic art typography (also letters or fragments of letters) play a special role. It’s seen as the most aesthetically pleasing design medium to create harmony through composition.                           

In general, words are compositions of letters. Combined in a sentence in order for us to either read/hear and understand or say/write to actively communicate.

To show another side of words and letters aside from the informative content that usually comes with language, a self-developed method allows to build alterable, visually pleasing compositions of words or letters.

For creating the forms that are essential for those compositions the movement when writing a letter is essential. The colours and gradients give an (hidden) explanation about which organs of speech you use to speak out loud and in what exact order you use them.
