Talk:
Handwriting: Our Personal Typography
with Agnieszka Gasparska
As visual communicators we all know that every typographic decision we make has the power to shape the meaning of the information we are communicating, but what about the other typography – the one that doesn’t make it into the final product? The one that hardly anyone ever sees? Not the one commodified into thousands and thousands of handwriting fonts out there, but the real deal – the one that’s genuinely and uniquely and messily yours. The aesthetics of all typography express layers of information and give shape to the way we perceive, interpret and judge a piece of content – handwriting is no exception.
This talk is scheduled for Friday, June 16, 2017, at 5:00pm as part of the main Typographics conference schedule. You must register for the Typographics conference to attend.
