Omid Nemalhabib is a graphic designer working at the intersection of type design, visual language, and multilingual typography. He draws on philosophy, visual culture, poetry, and practice-led artistic research to build multilayered narratives, shaped into typographic systems through an ongoing dialogue between analogue tools and digital experimentation. This cross-disciplinary approach spans identity, editorial, printed objects, web design, and motion. He co-founded Studio Melli, an independent practice born in Tehran and based in The Hague.
Atrough 1401
2022
1401 is a poster–calendar published through Atrough, Studio Melli's print and experimentation platform. The work brings together three calendar systems, solar, Gregorian, and lunar, into a single typographic composition, drawing from the visual language of historical Persian manuscripts, astronomy books, and geometric documents. Numbers, units, columns, and mathematical structures become the material of design: a dense, layered system that is as much a typographic object as it is a functional calendar.
               The result is something that operates beyond time, a piece that carries the logic and aesthetics of old Persian books into a contemporary frame. Originally produced as a printed poster, the work has since been realised in various materials as a flag and blanket appearing across different exhibitions and installations.
