Speaker Shani Avni

Shani Avni is an independent designer and researcher. Fascinated with letters and the stories they tell, she collaborates with designers and educators in order to expose more practitioners to this subject through workshops and lectures. For her Typeface Design MA thesis from the University of Reading, UK, she researched the David Hebrew typeface family and continues to do so. Shani has been chosen for the 2017 Cary Collection Research Fellowship at the RIT, USA, where David’s work is archived. She continues in an effort to make historical information available as both an academic and a practical source of reference.
