mosque i repeat myself? Typeography

This is site is pretty rad, ya know kids, tubular and such. Ping is apparently doin' a thing on Iranian typography. I remember checking some of this stuff out in art history. Muslim cultures decorate all of their mosques in type, being that their religion bans all other images in places of worship. Go here or die a little inside. http://www.pingmag.jp/2006/12/11/iranian-typography-now/
