Readymag, a design tool for creating outstanding websites, in collaboration with Type Directors Club presents The Faces Behind Typefaces, a selection of insightful conversations about typographers who have made extraordinary contributions to the creative field—Paula Scher, Paul Rand, Gerard Unger, Ed Benguiat, Rubén Fontana, Emigre, and Adrian Frutiger.

Designed in the form of an editorial, The Faces Behind Typefaces coincides with the 75th anniversary of the The Type Directors Club, part of The One Club for Creativity.

Starting from humble beginnings with 20 members in New York, TDC serves a global audience of typographers, type designers and lettering artists around the world with dozens of engaging online events, the renowned Type Drives Culture annual conference, and the profession’s most prestigious awards competitions.
