November 2-3, 2024

The theme for the 9th ISType conference is “Text-ure.” We have invited nine designers to explore the textural qualities of typography, type design, and their graphic applications. The conference will address designing and using typefaces in various text environments, whether static or dynamic, across both micro and macro graphic applications.
