Meet Ayaan Farabi

About Myself

I’m Ayaan Farabi, a typographer with a deep passion for fonts and the proud founder of Free Fonts Lab. For the last ten years, I’ve been fully involved in typography, studying the details of letter shapes and noticing how important they are in visual communication.

I first started exploring fonts when I was studying Graphic Design at the University of Reading. There, I learned about type design and improved my skills. The blend of creativity and technical precision fascinated me, and I knew that working with fonts was my true calling.

After graduating in 2015, I embarked on a professional career as a graphic designer, gaining valuable experience while working with various companies. During this time, I discovered the challenges that designers face when trying to find the ideal fonts for their projects without breaking their budget.

Driven by a deep belief in the democratization of design, I founded Free Fonts Lab in 2023 to address this need. The core principle behind my venture is to provide accessible and high-quality fonts to designers from all walks of life. I firmly believe that everyone should have the opportunity to use beautiful, well-crafted fonts to enhance their creativity and bring their visions to life.

We curate various fonts at Free Fonts Lab to fit different design needs. Our collection offers diverse styles for designers to choose from. Our mission is to help designers find the ideal font to convey their creativity in various mediums, including web design, branding, and print media.

I take great pride in our commitment to openness and inclusivity. That’s why all the fonts available on Free Fonts Lab are provided for free, enabling designers to access quality resources without any financial constraints. It brings me immense joy to see our fonts being used by designers worldwide, knowing that I’m contributing to their creative journeys.

I am committed to creating unique fonts by exploring new techniques and keeping up with emerging trends in typography. Free Fonts Lab is a community of typography enthusiasts who come together to appreciate the beauty of typefaces and share their creativity.
