Hey, you! Yes you, Mr Font Nerd. Look at you sitting there scratching a fantabulous new treatment for the letter ‘T' on your notepad. Maybe you're scouring typographica.org for a scandalously hot typeface right now. Or perhaps you're silently scoffing at the readability of a business card that employed an inscrutable serif font over a gaudy background. Ha! Fools! They can't harness the power of the letter! THEY WILL NEVER RULE THE WORLD WITH TYPE! Mwah ha ha!
Conversely, the Tokyo Type Directors Club (Tokyo TDC) is a group fully aware of the majesty of the written word. Established in 1987, the collective has challenged the limits of type design for the last 20 years and this month takes a selection of the world's coolest copy out on the town.
The Tokyo TDC's annual international design competition is one of the most prestigious typographic events on the planet. And in this show John Warwicker (from maverick art and design collective Tomato) has curated a selection from the competition's history along with this year's nominees and award winners. The work on display ranges from posters, character design and editorial, to packaging, book design and experimental work. All the write stuff, baby.
