Glass, Concrete, and Fonts: Is Typography Relevant in all Design Fields?
Purchase TicketsWe’ve all seen it: A $70 million condo development with a cheap-looking logo, a restaurant that has an unreadable menu, and a kitchen brand that looks like every other kitchen brand. Typography is all around us every day, yet it is so often ignored. How can architects use type to further their vision? What can interior designers learn from fonts? How can typography be used in the landscape? This panel discussion with typography experts will answer these questions with insights, humor, and real-life examples.
