Typographics is a design festival for people who use type. The event series takes place June 12–22, 2017, and is devoted to contemporary typography, with talks, workshops, and tours focusing on where typography is today and where its future may lie. It will be held at The Cooper Union in New York City.
The highlight of Typographics is a two-day conference centered on the contemporary use of type. Registration is open to the public.
Workshops and tours are being scheduled around the conference, covering everything from hand lettering to responsive typography.
The TypeLab at Typographics 2017 will host a series of technical but informal hands-on workshops, demos, interviews, and experiments.
The Typographics Book Fair, now in its second year, will feature items for sale from some of our favorite design booksellers.
Further programming will be announced over the coming weeks, but registration is already open. For news and updates, join our mailing list and follow @TypographicsNYC on Twitter.
