The Type Directors Club (TDC) is one of the most prestigious global events in the field of type design and typography. Established in 1953, the competition aims to showcase outstanding typographic works from around the world.
At the 71st edition of the competition, held in 2025, several works by type designers from our website NoonFont received the Certificate of Typographic Excellence, a distinguished recognition awarded by TDC.
The selected works in the Type Design category include:
Mahal and Edameh fonts (designed by Nasser Khadem), Gofteh font (designed by Alireza Nematollahi), and Shekanj font (designed by Amirmehdi Moslehi).
In the TDC competition, each jury member selects a work they personally find inspiring. These selected works are given special attention and are featured and analyzed in exhibitions and in The World’s Best Typography book.
