Our Story

Arab Press Studio is an experimental printmaking studio, archive, and research platform based in Germany, dedicated to reviving Arabic letterpress and analog printing practices. Operating at the intersection of typography, material research, and cultural inquiry, the studio explores printing as both a craft and a critical practice.

Emerging from research initiated in 2020, the project became publicly active in February 2022 with the launch of both its digital platform and physical print workshop. Since then, it has evolved as a space for experimentation, production, and knowledge exchange.

Through hands-on production, education, and archiving, the studio reactivates traditional techniques that have largely disappeared from contemporary design contexts. Its work focuses on the materiality of Arabic type, approaching letterforms not only as visual elements but as cultural artifacts shaped by history, technology, and use.

Rooted in an ongoing process of collecting and research, Arab Press Studio draws from a growing archive of Arabic design heritage, alongside an expanding collection of books, references, and printing materials sourced internationally. This archive informs typographic experiments, printed matter, and spatial investigations, positioning the studio as both a workspace and a platform for the preservation and reinterpretation of Arabic visual culture.
