We are happy to announce that we will be at Nancy this year, present in the goody bag, the workshops, and with a lecture.
Lecture: Type Design and Politics – Making a Difference with Fonts
Monday, 19 February 2018, 19:00
No one will argue that design can be political. But type design? Contrary to popular belief, fonts are not merely beautiful hobbies for type nerds or simple tools for any task, but can really make a difference. Join Rainer Scheichelbauer on a tour through the political side of type design.
