➼ Register to the opening night.
Designing a good typeface is one thing, but it’s a tiny aspect of the whole picture. The big deal is designing with type. We must all understand what typography is for, how graphic designers, art directors use it, how they work with it, how they transform it, how they break it and, most importantly, how they communicate with it. At Now25, we seek to explain how typography has a visible impact on the world around us.

Our international speakers for Now25 will represent various spheres of the graphic design and typography world. They will be announced regularly in the coming weeks.
