New Dimensions in Type Engineering
TYPO Labs 2017: Berlin, April 6–8
The 2nd TYPO Labs Conference was held in Berlin, April 6–8, 2017. TYPO Labs is an immersive type technology summit featuring talks, industry discussion panels, classrooms, peer learning and countless networking opportunities. The conference brings together leading engineers and practitioners from the font industry, OS developers and academics. Its purpose is to advance the state of the art in type development, facilitate its adoption in the industry, and encourage the integration of new type developments into future digital communication.
Since more and more software and devices rely on written communication, the need to synchronize technical efforts is now more urgent than ever. This is what fostered the creation of TYPO Labs, an annual summit on font technology and engineering. Stay tuned for more information and follow us on Twitter.
