Typographics 2021

Typographics, the annual festival on the contemporary use of type organized by The Cooper Union’s Type@Cooper and the Herb Lubalin Study Center of Design and Typography, returns for the seventh consecutive year this summer—only this time it will be spread out from June 1 to July 1, 2021 as it continues online.

The 2021 main conference goes global featuring 30 speakers from around the world, all curated in collaboration with an international team of guest curators. The festival will once again feature a line-up covering the gamut of typographic fields—brand identity, website design, advertising, book and editorial design, motion graphics, and typeface design.
