About Mohamed Gaber
Mohamed Gaber (Cairo, 1986) is a type designer and artist based in Amsterdam. His primary interest lies in the haptic nature of type production and its technological, philosophical, and historical aspects. He holds a Master in design from Sandberg Instituut (Amsterdam).

He taught as a guest tutor at AUC (Egypt), VCU (Qatar), and Linnaeus University (Sweden). In addition, he often gives workshops and talks around the world. His type design work is featured on Google fonts, and his artworks were exhibited in DDW (UAE), CTM 2020 (Germany), Venice Biennale 2020 (Italy), MK&G-Hamburg (Germany), Mediamatic (Netherlands), and VCU (Qatar).
