Jonathan Barnbrook: Affecting the World in a Real Way
Jonathan Barnbrook was a punk at age 11 and he keeps the spirit to this day. This is not about aesthetics but about questioning the dominant fiction and actually changing society.

He asks us two main questions: what makes typography valuable and how can we rebuild the typographic society?

Kate Moross: Business Grrrl
