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.

Naïma Ben Ayed
Naïma Ben Ayed grew up in a French and Tunisian family. Defining spaces in between identities and attempting to translate them into design forms and ideas is a lifelong obsession.
She is an independent type and graphic designer working with Arabic and Latin scripts. She has set up her independent practice in 2019 after working for several years in a corporate environment. Her approach to design is telling stories with letters. Through platforms such as Futuress and School of Commons she engages in the question of opening up type design pedagogy to broader audiences and creating tools to do so.
