Turn by Turn. Typography and Navigation

On Saturday, June 5th, 2021, the 26. Leipziger Typotage—Turn by Turn. Typography and Navigation will focus on typography as a medium for orientation in digital and analog contexts. Not only questions about individual type design will be addressed, but also the role of typography as an information carrier for (guided) communication processes. The lectures will address user interface design, gaming, cartography, generative design, and visual communication, which reflects a broad spectrum for typography as a navigator.
Due to the current situation the number of tickets for participation on site is very limited. Therefore the organizers also offer the option to follow the conference online.
The speakers are Claudia Friedrich (Hamburg), Julian Jarosch (Mainz), Nadya Kuzmina (Berlin), Jana Moser (Leipzig), Jay Rutherford (Weimar), Benjamin Schöndelen (Berlin), and Nico Wüst (Stuttgart/Berlin). The conference will be moderated by Peter Mohr (Agency Zentrumwest, Leipzig).
The kick-off the night before, June 4th, will be playful. The Leipzig collective people can play takes the visitors on a journey to the virtual playground of typography. In addition to a short lecture and Let’s Plays, you can also try out games yourself. On the Sunday after the Typotage, a letterpress workshop and a tour of the Museum of the Printing Art will be offered. The 26. Leipziger Typotage take place in the Museum of the Printing Art, an active museum that brings historical casting, setting, and printing processes to life in a workshop atmosphere.
