Speaker Ariq Syauqi

Ariq Syauqi is an Indonesian type designer specialising in multiscript typography — especially underrepresented ones. After earning a master’s degree in Typeface Design from the University of Reading with distinction, he is currently honing his research skills in Nancy, France, at the Atelier National de Recherche Typographique. He independently releases original fonts through Marsnev & Co. and collaborates as a freelancer with renowned designers, including Fred Smeijers and Jamra Patel. Eager to deepen his exploration of world scripts, Ariq will soon start his PhD in Leiden, where he will examine Indonesian scripts through typographic lens.
