I FON'T KNOW

June 15, Saturday 12:30 – SALT Galata

What is a font, a typeface? Is it art? design? or an unique technique? Actually when it comes to explain, i don’t know neither. I just try to explain how to do it and how we read it. From curves to letters, from letters to sounds. “Type” as a communication tool amazes me from the beginning of my career and i’m still trying to understand its impact in my journey. Now, i will try to share my experiences about that design tool as a graphic designer and also a typeface designer.
