The Typography Meeting [Encontro de Tipografia] is an annual international scientific event based in Portugal that gathers researchers, practitioners, pedagogues, students, and industry partners. It includes conferences by keynote speakers, peer-reviewed communications, workshops, and exhibitions. Our goal is to bring together leading individuals and projects in the Typographic panorama to: disseminate research and technical knowledge; foster learning, inspiration, and critical thinking; and contribute to the discussion and the development of ideas in Typography and Typeface Design.

open call
For many decades, typography has been considered a white, male and Western discipline, dominated by practices stemming from the Global North. However, in recent years, an increasing number of practitioners, researchers, historians and curators — to name a few — have not only affirmed the vital and consistent contribution by women and minorities to the discipline throughout history, but also the importance of projects and authors living and working in countries from the Global South: their lenses, methods and legacy.
The ENCONTRO DE TIPOGRAFIA 13: OTHER TYPOGRAPHIC WORLDS aims to create space for authors, projects, and research often invisible and overlooked in design discourse and academic practice. OTHER TYPOGRAPHIC WORLDS also refers to the expansion of Typography as a discipline and field of practice. This contribution to academic research and type design practice welcomes therefore non-canonic contributions, going beyond what the discipline has observed during the last decades, whilst challenging traditionally marginalized subjects such as region-specific languages and vernacular forms of writing, as well as the multiple entanglements between typography, design, art and technology.
We invite authors to submit unpublished contributions that explore one or more topics from the 13th Typographic Meeting. These may be submitted in the following categories: Papers, Type Talks, Workshops or Project Gallery.
