About
Zaid Sbeitan is an interdisciplinary practitioner based in Germany, working across architecture, typography, and printmaking. His practice explores Arabic visual culture, everyday urban aesthetics, and type as a spatial and cultural medium, combining research, observation, and material-based experimentation.
Engaging with lettering, calligraphy, letterpress, and urban sketching, his work investigates the relationship between visual heritage and contemporary forms. Through drawing, collecting, and documenting, he examines graphic traces in the city and develops a research-driven approach to design.
He runs Arab Press Studio, an experimental studio dedicated to reviving Arabic letterpress through practice, education, and archiving. In parallel, he develops Arab Philately, a platform and archive focused on documenting and researching postage stamps from the Arab world.
