SUMMARY:David Berlow: Beyond the Quest for the Perfect Uppercase Partial Differential
DESCRIPTION:This free event\, courtesy of Google\, will be streamed live from Google HQ in New York City on the TDC YouTube Channel: TDC YouTube \nThe last 30 years has seen a great growth in generalized glyphs and styles. David Berlow’s talk will show what happens to and for typography when we start to get more specific about the fonts\, and thus the glyphs we design\, by having more generalized fonts. The first part talks about glyphs and illustrates how different scripts form ideas\, words\, and texts. Next\, David will discuss how this effects the design of glyphs over a size range and then how this effects the design of styles that can be specified to work together in web and print environments. He will then demonstrate and describe inter-script\, inter-class and inter-style typography\, and conclude with a question-and-answer session. \nDavid Berlow entered the type industry in 1978 as a letter designer for Mergenthaler. He joined the newly formed Bitstream in 1982. Berlow left Bitstream in 1989 to found The Font Bureau with Roger Black. In 2008\, Berlow launched Webtype with Petr van Blokland and others. In 2016\, with Font Bureau and other foundries\, he created Type Network. \nRead more about David Berlow\, 2014 TDC Medal recipient here. \nDavid Berlow \nType Network: Website  \nFollow David Berlow on Twitter: @dberlow

SUMMARY:The Twilight of Letterpress: New York in the 80s
DESCRIPTION:In the early 1980s Ron Gordon and his associate\, Dean Bornstein\, traveled around New York City to document the letterpress shops that were still in operation\, including Bowne & Co.\, the Harbor Press\, Pittsburgh Metal’s foundry\, Peter Kruty Editions\, Grenfell Press\, Ron’s own Oliphant Press\, and Charles Press (shown above). Ron and Dean interviewed the various proprietors and photographed their shops\, their studios\, and representative samples of their work. Little did any of them know that what was coming to an end in the city was not only letterpress\, but the whole printing industry itself. Ron will show Dean’s nostalgic and evocative photos again in a re-creation of a talk originally given in 1984\, and reflect on printing in New York the last 35 years. \nPittsburgh Metal Foundry \nRon Gordon (in hat) \nRON GORDON studied printing\, typography\, and book design with two great masters\, Leonard Baskin and Joseph Blumenthal\, and then founded his own Oliphant Press in 1970 to carry on the tradition of fine printing and design. Beginning as a letterpress printer\, Ron adapted his style and skills as the craft shifted to computer typesetting\, offset lithography\, and now\, digital printing. His work has been exhibited at the Amherst College Library\, the RIT Cary Collection\, and the Club of Odd Volumes\, in Boston. Ron has taught workshops at the book arts centers at Wells\, Wellesley\, Dartmouth\, and RIT. He has trained numerous assistants and interns\, and has lectured at libraries\, colleges\, and book clubs all over the country.

SUMMARY:Timothy Samara: The Wheel Is Still Round: Renewing Focus on the Study of Form in Graphic Design Education
DESCRIPTION:If graphic design is about creating and organizing visual form to communicate\, why are design educators obsessed with everything except teaching about form? How did we become so distracted from what really matters? Provocative answers to these questions precede a prescription for effectively building students’ expertise in design’s core fluency. \nTimothy Samara is a New York–based graphic designer who integrates professional practice and teaching at several institutions; he is a frequent lecturer and contributor to design publications. Samara’s 11 books on design have been translated into ten languages and are used by students and practitioners around the world. He is currently developing a visual/cultural history of graphic design. \nWebsite: www.timothysamara.com

SUMMARY:Tobias Frere-Jones and Nina Stössinger: BEEF\, PORK\, LAMB\, VEAL & TYPE
DESCRIPTION:Tobias Frere-Jones and Nina Stössinger will unveil their signage & identity typeface design for the new Essex Market\, and share the thinking and process behind it. While the building that will soon house the market is brand new (the Essex Crossing development on Delancey and Essex Streets\, on the Lower East Side of Manhattan)\, this indoor food market itself has served the city for nearly three quarters of a century.  \nThe typeface anchors this newest incarnation of the market in its history\, by referring back to some of the meat market’s earliest painted & neon signage. The designers have researched these original signs and reinterpreted them in contemporary form\, adapting the fonts for various applications and media — including coming full circle to new neon signage. A case study that discusses questions of design\, history\, and technology; ways in which letterforms can shift and translate between eras and applications; and how the design of letters weaves into the story of the city and its visual memory. \nOver 25 years\, Tobias Frere-Jones has established himself as one of the world’s leading typeface designers\, creating some of the most widely used typefaces\, including Interstate\, Poynter Oldstyle\, Whitney\, Gotham\, Surveyor\, Tungsten and Retina. Tobias received a BFA in Graphic Design from the Rhode Island School of Design in 1992. He joined the faculty of the Yale University School of Art in 1996 and has lectured throughout the United States\, Europe and Australia. His work is in the permanent collections of the Victoria & Albert Museum in London and the Museum of Modern Art in New York. In 2006\, Royal Academy of Visual Arts The Hague (KABK) awarded him the Gerrit Noordzij Prijs for his contributions to typographic design\, writing andeducation. In 2013 he received the AIGA Medal in recognition of exceptional achievements in the field of design. Nina Stössinger \nNina Stössinger is a Senior Typeface Designer at Frere-Jones Type. Originally from Basel in Switzerland\, she graduated in multi-media design from Burg Giebichenstein University of Art Halle/Germany\, where she discovered her love for type. She went on to receive a CAS in Type Design from Zurich University of the Arts\, and an MA in Type and Media from the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague. Nina teaches type design at Yale University School of Art\, serves on the Board of Directors of the Type Directors Club\, and has spoken at numerous international conferences and events. Her published type designs include Conductor (with Tobias Frere-Jones)\, Nordvest\, and FF Ernestine.

SUMMARY:CANCELLED - Thomas Milo: The Future of Arabic Book Production
DESCRIPTION:Given the massive number of people who use Arabic script\, the industry’s indifference regarding it becomes catastrophic\, despite competent contributions. Thomas Milo’s talk demonstrates a new concept that can grow into a universal solution that preserves the characteristics of any specific script in the context of global computing and Unicode. \nThomas Milo is a linguist and member of a team that holds the Peter Karow award for exceptional innovations in the development of typography-related technology. Major series of publications are produced with DecoType\, e.g.\, the Library of Arabic Literature by New York University Press\, and Arabic text of Royal Brill Publishers. \nWebsite: www.decotype.com\nFacebook: @DecoType-DesignersofComputerTechnology\nTwitter: @ThomasMiloNL \n \nPowered by Eventbrite

SUMMARY:TDC Movie Night in LA: A Night Highlighting Typography in the Film Industry
DESCRIPTION:The title of a movie is the first connection a viewer has with a film. From the moment a friend asks “Did you see that movie?” its title is the element with which your brain identifies the experience. But the look of that title its often relegated to a second plane. We believe that good typography makes a huge difference and it’s a factor in determining how well a film will be remembered. Typography has the power of merging a series of character shapes into the fabric of a movie\, so strongly that anything written on the style of that movie title\, immediately belongs to that universe. \nMovie Night\, hosted by Ana Gómez Bernaus\, will feature three incredible\, award winning movie poster and main title designers: Lisa Bolan\, Manija Emran\, and Tomasz Opasinski. Through their stories you’ll learn how typography can reflect the voice of the film\, and amplify the meaning of the words themselves. \nLisa Bolan is a creative director\, illustrator\, and title designer based in Los Angeles. \nOriginally from New York\, Lisa attended the Rhode Island School of Design earning degrees in both illustration and graphic design. After RISD she relocated to Los Angeles and began her career designing for film\, television\, game marketing\, music packaging\, and multimedia. \nLisa began working at Prologue Films in 2007. At Prologue\, she designed over 30 film and television titles including Beauty & The Beast\, Queen Sugar\, Of Kings and Prophets\, The Killing Fields\, The Fifth Estate\, Zoo\, Sleepy Hollow\, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn — Part One & Part Two\, Arthur\, The Apparition\, ESPN 30 for 30\, and The Oscars. She has also created VFX and time-lapse sequences for films such as The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn — Part One & Part Two\, as well as illustrations and designs for title sequences including Tropic Thunder\, Sherlock Holmes\, Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows\, Iron Man 3\, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty\, Black Mass\, American Horror Story Murder House\, Hotel and Suburbicon. \nSince becoming a Creative Director at Elastic in 2017\, she’s created titles for The Alienist\, Altered Carbon\, Pink Collar Crimes\, Yellowstone and C.B. Strike titles. Her work on The Alienist and Altered Carbon garnered two Emmy nominations for Outstanding Main Title Design. \nManija Emran is an Afghan graphic designer based in Los Angeles. With a love of the handmade\, an eye for detail and an extensive typographic background\, Manija studied in Montreal before working with celebrated designers in London\, Paris\, NYC and Los Angeles. She now works at her own company Me & the Bootmaker. Her work spans all forms of design: logo\, book and packaging design\, signage and poster design\, typography\, title sequence and motion graphic design. \nD&AD\, One Show\, SXSW and TDC Award winning motion design has seen her design for Oscar winning films alongside the Oscar ceremony itself. The designs stem from a meticulous eye for detail and a very steady hand producing hand made title sequences for Rango\, Robin Hood\, London Boulevard\, Bad Teacher\, The Help\, Fright Night\, Snow White and The Huntsman\, Manhunt\, We are the Giant\, The Huntsman: Winter’s War\, Franca: Chaos and Creation\, Homemade: Hidden Wounds\, Let It Fall: Los Angeles 1982–1992 and Britannia amongst others. Listed as one of the Top Ten Women of Title Design by the notable website Art of the Title. \nTomasz Opasinski \nEntertainment Advertising Creative Director\, author and independent consultant in over 560 campaigns for Hollywood Entertainment Advertising Agencies and Movie Studios.

SUMMARY:Dina Ruzha: From Traditional Cyrillic to Contemporary Cyrillic
DESCRIPTION:The Cyrillic art of lettering has a thousand-year-old history. Since the 18th Century\, the Latin world has been inspiring the Cyrillic letterforms\, but Cyrillic can inspire Latin designers for new features and forms as well. From this presentation\, you’ll know about the history of Cyrillic calligraphy and how it influenced artists in the 20th Century and in contemporary times. \nBy the beginning of the 18th Century\, the medieval Cyrillic letter was replaced by newer designs\, but its rich artistic traditions were not lost in oblivion. New generations of artists have resorted to it\, again and again\, reappraising and using the medieval shapes for their purposes. \nFrom this lecture\, you’ll know about historical old Cyrillic handwritings such as ‘ustav\,’ ‘polu-ustav’\, ornamental ligature script ‘vyaz’ and cursive script ‘skoropis.’ You’ll see the extensive development of the letterforms in the 18th Century because of the reform of Peter the Great. The most exciting part is the revival of Old Cyrillic in the 20th Century and contemporary times. New experiments with old Cyrillic styles do not break away from the high and lasting tradition of the noble art of lettering. \nThe Lecture will consist of 3 parts: in the first part Dina Ruzha will introduce the audience to the history of Cyrillic calligraphy; the second part will be devoted to the amazing works of artists in the 20th Century\, and the last part will be about contemporary Cyrillic works. \nAbout Dina Ruzha\nDina Ruzha is a lettering artist\, calligrapher\, and illustrator. She works with publishing houses\, makes book covers\, and lettering. Her calligraphy works are exhibited in the Contemporary Museum of Calligraphy in Moscow (Russian Federation)\, and in private collections in Russia\, Norway\, and the USA. Dina Ruzha has a solid academic background in design\, illustration\, typefaces\, calligraphy\, and typography and devotes a significant part of her time studying the history of those as that’s important for an artist. Also\, she dedicated a large part of her life to teaching calligraphy and lettering.

SUMMARY:Hagen Verleger: Margaret van Eyck – Renaming an Institution\, a Case Study
DESCRIPTION:Hagen Verleger will give an insight into “Margaret van Eyck\,” an ongoing\, collaborative research/art project at the intersection of institutional critique\, feminist design intervention\, and the politics of (re-)naming\, which he initiated in 2017 during his time as artist-in-residence at Van Eyck\, a Dutch post-academic institute for fine art\, design\, and reflection. \nUpon arriving at the program in April 2017\, Hagen changed the academy’s name and the name of its “labs” by adding a female alternative to each of the all-male namesakes. This spatial design intervention led to an ongoing discussion at the institution and beyond\, culminating in the official opening of Margaret van Eyck Academie with a series of presentations\, performances\, and readings. \nThis year\, Hagen edited and designed a two-volume publication (published by Peradam Press\, NYC) documenting “Margaret van Eyck” and featuring a diverse group of artists\, writers\, and scholars that reflect on the topics within the project. \nFor this presentation at the Type Directors Club\, Hagen will highlight the role that design played in the process\, and specifically how typography can serve as a tool to enable and promote change. \nBio:\nHagen Verleger is an independent graphic designer\, editor\, and researcher based in Berlin. As a designer\, he focuses on typography and book design\, working mainly with artists\, cultural institutions\, and publishing houses. In addition to commissioned work\, Hagen’s artistic practice\, which often revolves around editing and publishing\, is informed by a strong interest in the interrelation of fiction and reality. He is currently working towards a doctorate in the field of philosophy\, media studies\, and design history. \nLinks:\nWebsite: www.hagenverleger.com\nInstagram: @hagenverleger\nInstitution Website: www.margaretvaneyck.nl\nAcademy Instagram: @margaretvaneyckacademie

SUMMARY:TDC at Parsons: Tobias Frere-Jones and Nina Stössinger
DESCRIPTION:Join the TDC at Parsons for an evening double feature! \nIn Letters We Trust | Tobias Frere-Jones\nFor centuries\, letterforms have been a means of security for citizens and governments alike. This talk will explore the ways that letterforms have been used in plain sight and in secret\, to thwart forgery. Some strategies have relied on high-profile collaboration\, and others on home-grown cunning. Interwoven is a story of war and peace\, technology\, culture and economics. The narrative will focus on banknotes from the American Colonial period to the present day\, with additional examples of passports\, government permits and lottery tickets. \nJourney to the Dark Side of Contrast | Nina Stössinger\nIt is one of the most fundamental conventions in Latin typeface design that verticals are made thicker than horizontals. But what if they aren’t? Designers who have challenged this rule often emphasize the outrageous strangeness of letters wearing their thicks and thins the “wrong” way. So is “reversed contrast” just a recurring but ultimately useless provocation – or might this largely neglected quadrant of design space yet yield promising\, perhaps even useful new solutions? A tale of convention and contrast\, exploration and experiment\, of breaking and making the rules of design. \nOver 25 years\, Tobias Frere-Jones has established himself as one of the world’s leading typeface designers\, creating some of the most widely used typefaces\, including Interstate\, Poynter Oldstyle\, Whitney\, Gotham\, Surveyor\, Tungsten and Retina. His work is in the permanent collections of the Victoria & Albert Museum in London and the Museum of Modern Art in New York. In 2006\, Royal Academy of Visual Arts The Hague (KABK) awarded him the Gerrit Noordzij Prijs. In 2013 he received the AIGA Medal in recognition of exceptional achievements in the field of design. \nNina Stössinger is a Senior Typeface Designer at Frere-Jones Type. Originally from Basel in Switzerland\, she graduated in multi-media design from Burg Giebichenstein University of Art Halle/Germany. She went on to receive a CAS in Type Design from Zurich University of the Arts\, and an MA in Type and Media from the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague. Nina teaches type design at Yale University School of Art\, serves on the Board of Directors of the Type Directors Club. Her published type designs include Conductor (with Tobias Frere-Jones)\, Nordvest\, and FF Ernestine.

SUMMARY:Kameel Hawa: Shape of the Word - Arabic Typographic Sculpture for Public Spaces
DESCRIPTION:Kameel Hawa will present his typographic sculptures and reveal the creative process and the conceptual considerations behind these projects. He will highlight the artistic power and poetry of the Arabic letterforms\, and their cultural contribution to public space. \nAbout Kameel Hawa \nLebanese designer\, painter\, and writer Kameel Hawa’s name has become synonymous with Almohtaraf\, the design house that he founded more than 3 decades ago. Born in 1947 and a graduate of the American University of Beirut\, Kameel approached graphic design as a mission. The originality of the work AlMohtaraf has created throughout the years lies in their blend of art and design\, tradition and modernity— a meaningful message communicated in an indigenous yet contemporary form. \nAlMohtaraf\, the only pan-Arab design house\, has left an impact on the design scene in the region. Kameel Hawa himself is gaining acclaim for his type design\, his unique creations in word art\, and for his typographic sculpture. His first project was an interpretation of the name Beirut in Arabic which stands prominently in the city’s downtown. In 2014\, his public installation of 8 sculptural interpretations of the word Fann\, (Arabic for Art) over Samir Kassir pool won him widespread recognition. Recently he unveiled another typographic sculpture representing the acronym of his Alma matter AUB. His latest design project presented in last year’s Beirut Art Week\, is a typographic sculptural interpretation of the complete Phoenician Alphabet represented by the first letter Aleph.

SUMMARY:Reimagining Chinese Typography with Synoptic Office
DESCRIPTION:What is typography? This most basic question has prompted countless debates within Western circles. In China\, the situation is more complicated. Terms used to describe calligraphic forms have been augmented to include their mechanical brethren. Competing Chinese words represent differing ideas of what type—printed\, calligraphic\, and hand-lettered—means. For typography\, there is no Chinese term fully encompassing the ideas and connotations associated with it in the graphic design sense. \nWhen we diverge from calligraphic traditions to embrace the freedom allowed by emergent technologies\, worlds of possible futures open. Using the processes and ideas learned from the design of our Chinese typeface\, Ming Romantic\, we will delve into these opportunities. \nAbout Caspar Lam & YuJune Park\nSynoptic Office is a multidisciplinary design studio operating in the space between design\, technology and education. The studio’s work has been exhibited internationally and recognized by Fast Company Design\, iDn\, Neshan\, Etapes\, and It’s Nice That. \nSynoptic Office was selected to participate in BIO23\, the 23rd Biennial of Design at the Museum of Architecture and Design in Ljubljana\, Slovenia and has exhibited at the Ningbo Museum of Art in China and the 26th International Biennial of Graphic Design in Brno. \nFind Synoptic Office On:\nWebsite\nInstagram\nFacebook\nTwitter \n\nThis event is being held in association with NYCxDesign.
