TypeParis26: Scholarship Winner!

Nour Zahabi, TypeParis2026 scholarship winner of the year!

TypeCon & SOTA Scholarship for TypeParis26

TypeCon and the Society of Typographic Aficionados are proud to announce the 7th edition of our scholarship program to TypeParis26—an incredible six-week typographic summer intensive in Paris, France.

Previous winners of the TypeCon Scholarship include Olga Vasik, Aline Yoshimatsu, Andrea Hayek, Quỳnh Hương Nguyen, Dana Al Assir and Thitawan Noenpoempisut who wrote a post about her experience on TypeCon blog.

This summer, scholarship winner Nour Zahabi will join fifteen fellow students in the heart of the city for 340 hours of immersive education in type design, lettering, and calligraphy—on us! This year’s intensive will take place from June 2th to July 10th, 2026.

“Type design has been a recurring but fragmented part of my practice for years. Being selected as a recipient of the TypeCon & SOTA Scholarship to TypeParis Summer 26 marks a moment of recognition, allowing me to pursue it with greater focus, technical depth, and structure.”
— Nour Zahabi
