On a light blue background appears a repetition of the word Since in white font, several times across the image. Just below center is the name Type@Cooper in black.

The exhibition brings together examples of work produced by the graduates of Type@Cooper programs. Launched in 2010 by The Cooper Union, the certificate programs have become the leader in typeface design education in United States. The courses have inspired other programs across US, and beyond, and have produced 477 graduates. After 15 years, it was time to look at what the graduates have been up to. The exhibition spans 20 countries, and 85 individuals. The work on view showcases the wide range of what’s possible with a certificate in typeface design.
