NSCAD PUBLIC LECTURE SERIES: MATTHEW CARTER: A HISTORY OF EXPERIMENTAL TYPE DESIGN

typography design (discipline) histories

"The field of type design has a fascinating history and, contrary to popular belief, it goes back centuries before the digital era.'The prevailing version of type's history is that after a 500-year progression of conventional styles, the coming of the personal computer in the mid-1980s caused a revolution in experimental type design,' says Matthew Carter, the second guest speaker in our annual Public Lecture Series. 'This is a short-sighted view; it ignores the fact that the experimental counter-culture of type design is as old as the orthodox culture itself.' (-NSCAD website)
