TypeCon2007, Seattle

Design

Browsing the web at my real job, I came across the Society of Typographic Aficionados (SOTA) website. Beyond the fact that I think it's pretty damn cool that there is a society of people who like fonts and they decided to start up a nonprofit, I'm excited they also do fundraising and hold an annual conference called TypeCon in a North American city. Guess where TypeCon is this glorious new year?

During the summer months, my beautiful hometown will be host to type designers, graphic artists with a proclivity for text and letterforms, printers, publishers and book artists from all over the world. So come spend some time this summer in the Pacific Northwest, hang those quotes, drop Chin Music Press a line and kern baby, kern.

Excellent. Looks like fun. This post has inspired me to share with you a quote from Professor Erik Spiekermann, a German typographer:

"I cannot order a meal unless I have identified the font on the menu. Drives everybody crazy."

Now that's an aficionado.
