Upcoming Typography Events

Type Drives Commerce brings together design leaders, brand marketers, and creative decision-makers to explore how type shapes identity, drives engagement, and impacts the bottom line. Unlike conferences built on abstract inspiration, our focus is on real-world applications showcasing case studies, strategies, and proven results. For sponsors, this means a direct connection with the people who influence how brands communicate, resonate, and grow.

Bad typography can wreck great user experiences. Type is the main carrier of information in digital products. It’s where content, function, and form become one. Unreadable, cluttered, or inaccessible type drives users away and weakens your product. In this free webinar on 24 March, you will learn how to turn this silent killer into a clear UX advantage.

Fontstand’s sixth annual Typography Conference is coming to Berlin! Join world-class type designers and typographers from around the world for a packed two-day program of presentations and discussions.

Japanese writing system is a mixed system that combines three different scripts: kanji, hiragana, and katakana. The lecture will give an overview of their origins and how they have been used differently within a historical context. We will explore how each script has been designed, and developed over time, in relation to the transition of printing technologies and letterforms. We will also introduce the basics of Japanese type design with a comparison to Latin typefaces. The structure of each script, design rules, and harmonisation with the Latin alphabet—which is often used together in Japanese typesetting—will be discussed.

ATypI 2026 Stanford brings together designers, researchers, educators, technologists, and industry leaders for four days of talks, panels, workshops, and curated field visits at the intersection of culture, technology, and society.

This year’s theme, Homescreen: Design for Belonging, explores how typographic systems shape access, identity, participation, and sustainability in the digital age. From Split Screen to Green Screen to Full Screen, the program examines how the screens we design, and the type that structures them, influence who belongs, who participates, and who is seen.

Now26 conference in Paris is a celebration of typography, featuring inspiring speakers from graphic design, web design, motion design, publishing, visual identity, communication, and type design.
