We love Eva-Lotta’s sketchnotes!
Intrigued by the title, I was totally bewildered as to what the next hour in the Logan Hall would bring. Not only was Julian Zimmermann going to showcase the work created for his client King Bansah, but the King himself was in residence to talk us through his story.
After some introduction and teasing from Erik Spiekermann, Chip Kidd stepped on stage. He thanked Erik, and announced that “You make me feel like Lady Gaga, only with bigger breasts.” What was to follow was an hour of impeccable comic timing, dramatic pauses and eyebrow raises, he had the audience in stitches with barely a handful of words.
An African King may seem like an unusual guest for a conference on typography and graphic design, but King Bansah and Julian Zimmermann’s talk about branding a royal celebrity created a noticeable buzz of anticipation amongst the TYPO attendees.
OK this is the one everyone has been waiting for. Chip Kidd. He is in the same hero category as Neville Brody, David Carson and Jonathan Barnbrook – but in my opinion he is in a league of his own. There doesn’t seem to be the usual love him or hate him divide with Chip. You just love him.

Ivo Gabrowitsch is a self-confessed ‘typoholic’. As the Managing Director of FSI Fontshop International, he eats, sleeps and breathes typography. His latest obsession and project being Mobile FontFonts, fonts specifically formatted for embedding into IOS apps and a concept he champions and conquers.

First time in the Jeffery Hall for us for some proper type talk. And there is not just Bruno but a whole group of speakers introducing us to Ubuntu, Nokia, Aktiv Grotesk and Boticario. Even more refreshing is that Nokia is presented and explained into greatest detail by the client himself.
