We’ve [talked before](http://design.canonical.com/2011/08/ubuntu-arabic-in-print/) about the work done by [Rayan Abdullah](http://www.rayan.de/biography.html) on drawing and designing the original calligraphy behind the Ubuntu Arabic for the [Ubuntu Font Family](http://font.ubuntu.com/) and from tomorrow you will be able to see that work for yourself. Until 27 May 2012 you can see some of those original sketches and designs featuring in the **[Typobau exhbition](http://kultur-neukoelln.de/galerie-im-koernerpark-programm-veranstaltung-1256.php)** at the [Körnerpark](http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/K%C3%B6rnerpark) Gallery in Neukölln, Berlin, It includes many of Rayan’s design projects from the last decade, including the *Bundesadler* (the [Federal Eagle](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coat_of_arms_of_Germany) of Germany) and his many Arabic graphic design and typography projects including the logos and typefaces for Burberry, McDonalds, Nokia Pure Arabic and the Ubuntu Font Family Arabic script coverage. For keen visitors, the grand opening is *this week,* at 19:00 on Friday 20 April 2012. Or for anyone visiting Messe Berlin in May 2012 for [Linuxtag 2012](http://www.linuxtag.org/2012/en) you will still be able to catch the exhibition. Just take the S-Bahn ring anti-clockwise to S-Neukölln and see Ubuntu and Rayan’s exhibition at the same time as Linuxtag! *The “[Typobau](http://kultur-neukoelln.de/galerie-im-koernerpark-programm-veranstaltung-1256.php)” exhibition runs between 21 April 2012 and 27 May 2012, 10:00–20:00, Tuesday—Sunday, at [Körnerpark Galerie, Schierker Strasse 8, Berlin-Neukölln](http://www.openstreetmap.org/?way=25590466)* [Get in touch Interested in running Ubuntu in your organization?](https://ubuntu.com/about/contact-us/form) ## Sign up for our newsletter Get the latest Canonical news and updates in your inbox.
