Damoon
The three calligraphic dots engraved on the body of a cleaver became Damoon’s source of inspiration. Witnessing this paradoxical juxtaposition, he crafted letters that fuse the refinement of calligraphy with sharp cuts and bold strokes.
Those symbolic three dots now reside on letters that, despite their resolute and modern forms, overflow with Iranian softness and authenticity—as if each letter echoes both the whisper of a reed pen on paper and the rhythmic clash of a cleaver against bone!
