... The growing attention of younger artists to typography, as a
quantitative development, has given an Iranian tone to their works
and has caused a qualitative development as well. But has these
developments caused a prestige for Iranian typography?
The Fifth Color in his two recent typography exhibitions, called
"Boof-e-Koor" and "Molavi", has raised issues in relation with
Persian culture and literature which could provide opportunities for
the creation of typography artworks in this milieu. The formalist
view of these two exhibitions was in a way inevitable and was due to
its literal context which was the main concern of its designers.
