Type design may be perceived as a very specialized and even isolated field. We often hear about the very few job opportunities and a limited potential for career growth. But is it really so? What are the various fields within typography and type design that you can dive in pursuing your love for letters? As part of Type@Cooper's free Herb Lubalin Lecture Series, Maria Doreuli will talk about the different interests and activities that intertwine and help her stay independent.

Registration is required.

Maria Doreuli is the founder of an independent studio Contrast Foundry. In 2018, craving for new challenges, she relocated to California.
