Typographics 2017 is back for a third year to enlighten us all

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 and for 2017 the main stage is being produced and hosted by current and past curators of the Herb Lubalin Study Center of Design and Typography, the graphic design archive that has co-organized Typographics with Type@Cooper since the conference’s debut.

Previous Lubalin curators Mike Essl, Acting Dean of The Cooper Union’s School of Art, Barbara Glauber, principal of Heavy Meta Design Studio and Ellen Lupton, curator of contemporary design at Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum, join current curator Alexander Tochilovsky.

“The conference is evolving each year – all with the goal of providing a variety of educational and networking opportunities for students and working designers from around the world who all share a special interest in type,” said Alexander Tochilovsky. “Between the main stage, the TypeLab, the book fair and the studio and walking tours, Typographics has a lot to offer.”

To ensure a robust experience, Typographics offers two weeks of festival events, including intensive hands-on workshops, taught by Type@Cooper instructors and guest instructors, TypeLab, a typeface design and typography hackathon, and a book fair.

Typographics festival events take place from June 12 to June 22, 2017. The conference takes place on Friday, June 16 and Saturday, June 17, 2017.
