26. Leipziger Typotage

Turn by turn. Typography and navigation

Author: Slanted editors

On Saturday, April 25th, 2020, the 26. Leipziger Typotage will focus on typography as a medium for orientation in digital and analog contexts. Not only do questions about individual type design will be addressed, but also the role of typography as an information carrier for (controlled) communication processes. The lectures will address user interface design, gaming, cartography, generative design and visual communication, which reflect a broad spectrum for typography as a navigator.

Speakers
Claudia Friedrich (zweigrad, Hamburg); Julian Jarosch (Digitale Akademie—Akademie der Wissenschaften und der Literatur, Mainz); Daniel Kuhnlein (Standardabweichung, Munich); Nadya Kuzmina (Interface Designer, Berlin); Jana Moser (Leibniz Institute for Regional Geography, Leipzig); Benjamin Schöndelen (Deutschlandfunk, Berlin) and Nico Wüst (Strichpunkt Design, Stuttgart / Berlin).
