Learn about Typotheque’s community-partnered process and their five years of successful research with Indigenous languages in North America.
Typotheque engages in ongoing language support work with Indigenous communities in North America, and recently published a new book presenting the typography of the Syllabics, Cherokee, Osage, and Complex Roman writing systems for the many First Nations and Inuit communities that use them. Typotheque’s Kevin King will present the book and describe the larger context behind the work and its impact on local communities.
Letterform Lectures are a public aspect of the Type West postgraduate program. The series is co-presented by the San Francisco Public Library, where events are free and open to all.
