Together with nai010 publishers we present Theory of Type Design by the internationally renowned type designer Gerard Unger. This publication is the first comprehensive theory of typeface design. The volume consists of 24 concise chapters, each clearly describing a different aspect of type design, from the influence of language to today’s digital developments, from how our eyes and brain process letterforms to their power of expression.

This splendid book includes more than 200 illustrations and practical examples that illuminate the theoretical material. The terminology is succinctly explained in the volume’s extensive glossary.

With:
Bas Jacobs & Akiem Helmling (Underware), Erik van Blokland, Hansje van Halem(designer), Peter Bilak.
The moderator of this evening is Theo Seesing (creative director of BNO IMG)
