That place seemed to be already wonderful from its online presence, but once you are in there in person, it is so amazing it is really hard to leave!

Second: @stewf and Rob Saunders showing off the collection of hand painted movie posters titles 😱

Third and fourth: the Archive has recently received a superb collection of Chinese typefaces and sign painting manuals from the early 20 to mid 20 century, gathered by @synopticoffice. Such a great and generous donation!! These are super rare!!! 🤩🤩🤩

I still can’t believe that I’ve been invited to give a talk at Face/Interface conference this year.
It is organised by @stanfordsilicon, with @firstgenprofessor and Audrey Gao.
I presented my project @words_of_type to a prestigious audience in a even more prestigious environment (or is it the other way around? 🙃), which has never made me more nervous. But many kind hearts came to tell me how good my talk was 💖🫣

This conference is a great mix of talks about linguistics, history, research, and… typography!
A great one to follow and to attend whenever the next edition will come!

@words_of_type fun fact:
For some who might have noticed this:
In our first posts about the Thai lecture and workshop with @boom.type coming soon (BOOK YOUR SEATS - link in bio!), we wrote the word “Thaï” with an ï.

This is a stupid mistake from me to put this ï everywhere.
Why? In French, we write “Thaïlande” for the country, and “Thaï” for its language and script. The “a + i” combo as is is pronounced as one sound, and we use the ï to split the “a” and ”i” sounds.

But I didn’t even think that in English there is no such thing as the ï, and put it anyway in the English texts... 🤦‍♀️

Note to self: always double (or triple?) check with the speaker who knows the stuff better.

The encyclopedia of @words_of_type is in progress.

And we go even further towards making typographic knowledge more accessible and more diverse, with a series of lectures and workshops, starting in June ☀️
About typography and type design in specific scripts:
Thaï, Greek, Devanagari, Hebrew, Hangeul, and more!

Revenues from lectures and workshops will help fund 
Words of Type project 💖

Stay tuned for more info!
