Typography doesn’t just make speech visible; it is also a mirror of society, and a reflection of our culture. As the world becomes increasingly diverse, type and typography engage in a cultural dialogue. The Fontstand conference will be hosting a series of presentations and speakers that have a visible impact on the world around us.
