27. Leipziger Typotage 2022
Typography and Movement
The 27. Leipziger Typotage 2022—Typography and Movement will take place in Leipzig in the Museum für Druckkunst on May 14th.
The world is in motion and so is typography. Text design is becoming more and more dynamic, output media more diverse, the possibilities of allowing typefaces to emerge from their static appearance are increasing. Variable fonts and dynamic type design are now part of everyday life. At the same time, type in motion is not a new phenomenon. It starts with Gutenberg’s movable type, continues with the travelling foundrymen, the exchange of typefaces, all the way to typefaces in films or on electronic display boards. Today, writing is animated, perceived differently through optical illusions, seen but also felt (e.g. Braille). How are digital possibilities changing the work of typeface designers and designers in general?
The 27. Leipziger Typotage 2022 explore the development of moving type and take a look into its future. The talks cover topics such as type research, creative coding, type design, and visual communication.
