Break away from your daily routine and spend the last week of February in the beautiful city of Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia — and completely immerse in type design at the Ljubljana Type Days 2017! This year’s mentor is going to be Graz-based Hungarian type designer Adam Katyi. A unique opportunity to get your type design kickstarted!

Ljubljana Type Days 2017 workshop

The workshop will start in the morning with breakfast, and will be continued throughout the day until the evening.

During the workshop we will also organise a visit to the National University Library, where many examples of calligraphy and print legacy, important for the Slovenian culture, are stored. Profesor Lucijan Bratuš will be our guide.

On Saturday we will start the day with a Type-walk through the old part of Ljubljana and in the afternoon we will show the work that has been done during the Type Days 2017 workshop with a public exhibition and a private party afterwards.
