Description

On 16 September 2022, Mahsa Amini passed away after three days of unconsciousness in the ICU due to multiple blows to the head by IR's morality police. This incident caused protests that continued for four months in many cities of Iran. And from the very beginning, graphic designers tried to play their role in the protests by producing content and graphics, and this typeface has a very related concept. The "Zhian" typeface is not friendly. It is clear and protestant and has a loud and harsh voice. It is specifically designed to be used to demonstrate protest. This typeface is designed in bold and bold with rounded edges.
