All in Conferences
The Type Directors Club (TDC) hosted their second-annual “Type Drives Culture” conference this March in New York City’s SVA Theater. The event’s dozen-plus speakers and panelists extolled the reciprocating connection between typography and culture, each adding a new angle or industry to the conversation.
TYPE’s first event, a one-day conference in New York May 25, devoted to the typography, photography, and design of Rolling Stone. Meet the people who made it, hear how they did it, and find out what they learned along the way.
Typographics, a “design festival for people who use type” launched the website for its fourth-year event; Ralf Herrmann published an essay explaining why not every letter you see comes from a specific font; and Alice Savoie released a free typeface based on the various forms of the animal kingdom.
