ATypI Tech Talks 2022: 29 sessions in three days for all things innovation in type
How can one infuse holographic type in physical space in mixed reality? Do variable fonts have any true limits? What is Font proofer? What about emoji/graphy? Oh, can artificial intelligence advance type design today? Many questions, all to be addressed in the ATypI latest Tech Talks installment.
Kicking off on the 27th of October, the new ATypI Tech Talks 2022 is compiled of 29 sessions that shed light on technology, education, business, and everything related to innovation in type.
A truly diverse conference that explores a variety of themes and issues of the typographic scene and the digital realm, ATypI TT 2022 features a great line of moderators and speakers for impactful inspiration with explorations aplenty.
From the presentation of the research that investigates the impact of audience habits and culture on text readability (about Arabic text typefaces) by the Arabic-Persian typeface designer Atefeh Mohammadi through the panel consisting of experts Tim Ahrens, Jérémie Hornus, Igino Marini, and Toshi Omagari who will explore existing, new, and emerging tools, techniques, problems, and solutions in automatic kerning and spacing in font engineering to the many challenges of designing typefaces for hanzi (Chinese characters) and the ongoing efforts to generate hanzi glyphs automatically via the new deep learning approach by Rui Zhang, Yehang Yin (his Inscript talk was one of a kind), and Zewen Chen, ATypI Tech Talks 2022 is a three-day typographic adventure taking place online from October 27 to 29 with tickets still available to own here.

“Last year’s edition was a huge success, and we’re looking forward to learning and sharing more at this year’s ATypI Tech Talks” notes the Association Typographique Internationale that once again “welcomes rising stars and respected innovators from around the world, including to explore new insights, ideas, and advances in type tech, font engineering, typography, tools, platforms, formats, working groups, multiscript development, and more.”
Here is a highlight from ATT2021, a panel discussion featuring Sahar Afshar, Nadine Chahine, Catherine Dixon, John Hudson, Indra Kupferschmid, Manuel Sesma, and Nick Sherman and moderated by Carolina Laudon, Jean-Baptiste Levée, Thomas Phinney, and Rathna Ramanathan that explores the past, present, and (hopefully bright) future of typeface classification.
Attend the many presentations, workshops, demos, and panels, etc., participate in speaker Q&As and engage in lively discussions as the event comes with “plenty of opportunities for networking and relaxed conversations.”
Important notice: the program will be recorded and available to watch on demand shortly after each session wraps up.
