The result is a compelling display of creativity and global diversity in contemporary typography.

In the Judges’ Choices section, each juror highlights their favorite entry, accompanied by personal commentary and insightful statements from the designers—offering readers a deeper look into the passion and process behind the work.

The Young Ones TDC winners provide an exciting glimpse into the future of typography with their bold ideas and fresh energy, they inspire and challenge the status quo.

A carefully compiled index of the main typefaces used—complete with the names of their designers—makes this book not only a visual delight but also a valuable reference tool.
