Juan Villanueva:
Meeting the Moment with Type Education

Type design is no longer an obscure art only practiced by European type designers from the 15th century. Today, in theory, anyone with internet access can level up their type and design skills. However, the reality is that there are still many obstacles in the way of getting a quality type education. This talk will cover ways to get over those hurdles, customize your type education, and level up your type skills.

This talk is scheduled to take place , 2022, at New York time (/UTC), as part of the main Typographics conference. Conference registration is required to attend in person.
