Need a designer who understands type from the inside out? I create brand identities, websites, and editorial design with deep typographic expertise — including custom typeface design in Latin, Arabic, and Hebrew. Whether you need a full visual identity, a website, or a custom font for your brand, I bring precision and multilingual design thinking to every project. I'm Nir Zabari Yenni, a graphic and type designer based in Lausanne. I design typefaces in Latin, Arabic, and Hebrew through Nomad Type, my independent type foundry. Alongside type design, I work on branding, editorial design, arts & culture projects, and build websites. I also co-run LAB2 with Liron Sabag, a branding and web design studio for B2B startups. Before moving to Switzerland, I spent ten years working as a graphic designer and teaching typography at Shenkar College in Tel Aviv. I hold an MFA in Type Design with honors from ECAL, where I designed Safra, a trilingual type family. I speak Hebrew, Arabic, English, and am working on my French.
