TypeParis Now26
An International Typography Conference in Paris With Talks and Workshops
On May 30, 2026, the TypeParis Now26 Conference will bring designers, typographers, and creatives from around the world to Paris for a day dedicated entirely to typography. The one-day conference is part of TypeParis’s international program, which has been organizing workshops, courses, and events focused on type design and typography since 2015.
The event brings together renowned designers from various disciplines—ranging from graphic and editorial design to motion design and type design—and showcases how typography is used in a wide variety of contexts. The focus is not only on the design of typefaces themselves, but above all on how typography shapes communication and visual culture.
The conference program features presentations by international designers as well as a concluding panel discussion on publishing in graphic design and typography. Speakers include Tobias Frere-Jones, Astrid Stavro, David Quay, and Özge Güven. During the panel discussion, representatives from various design publications will discuss the role of books, magazines, and independent publishers in the typographic discourse. In the panel discussion, representatives from various design publications will discuss the role of books, magazines, and independent publishers in the typographic discourse. Julia Kahl from Slanted Publishers will also be there to discuss current developments in design publishing alongside other guests.
At the same time, Slanted Publishers will have a stand featuring a selection of books and magazines, allowing visitors to dive directly into the world of independent design publications.
Following the conference, two workshops will take place on May 31, offering practical insights into type design and analog printing techniques. A workshop with Ulrike Rausch and Georg Seifert will focus on the development of two typefaces, while a second workshop with Megan O’Connell will cover the basics of letterpress printing. Concurrently, the Type Directors Club’s annual exhibition will be on display during the conference, showcasing the latest international typography work, will also be on display during the conference.
With its international audience and interdisciplinary program, the Now Conference has established itself in recent years as a key gathering place for the typography community. The 2026 edition continues this tradition and promises another inspiring day filled with ideas, discussion, and a passion for typography.
