For 25 years, the Typographische Gesellschaft Austria (tga) has been fully dedicated to the craft—now it’s time to celebrate that legacy with an equally bold and brilliant event. From Thursday, August 28 to Sunday, August 31, 2025, the tga invites designers, thinkers, and typophiles to the Jubiläums-Symposion, a four-day deep dive into type, design, and discourse. Since its founding in 2000, the tga has championed typography in Austria—supporting designers, nurturing expertise, and offering a platform for typographic discourse. The goal? To elevate type beyond aesthetics, recognizing its power in communication, culture, and society.

This year’s symposion brings together international and local voices to explore the past, present, and future of typography. Expect thought-provoking lectures, vibrant discussions, hands-on workshops, and moments of delightful hedonism—the kind that comes from sharing inspiration, insight, and perhaps a glass of wine in good company.

The 2025 lineup features a stellar cast of speakers from across the globe, including Johannes Bergerhausen (DE), Erik Carter (USA), Natalie Deewan (AT), Benjamin Dumond (FR), Franziska Füchsl (AT), Ilka Helmig (DE), Jost Hochuli (CH), Céline Hurka (NL), Kay Jun and Jaewan Jeong (KOR), Joyce Ketterer (USA), Andreas Koop (DE), Sybille Krämer (DE), MMS (Maryam Fanni, Matilda Flodmark, Sara Kaaman from SWE), Claudia Poppe & Margarete Schwarzl (AT), Frank Rausch (DE), Paul Shaw (USA), Jeremy Tankard (GB), and Franziska Weitgruber (IT).

And yes, the anniversary is more than just symbolic. Even the event’s color palette speaks the language of commitment: 100% magenta + 25% yellow = a bold pink; 25% cyan + 100% black = a deep, definitive black!
