This exhibition highlights and celebrates work by this year's Type@Cooper graduates. Type@Cooper is The Cooper Union’s post-graduate certificate program in typeface design that was established in 2010. The design of the original typefaces on display in these posters was done over the course of three 10-week terms, and on a part-time schedule on evenings and weekends to accommodate working professionals.
