Lettering vs Calligraphy
Lettering vs Calligraphy is a project by Giuseppe Salerno and Martina Flor. It consists of a visual dialogue between a letterer and a calligrapher, where they draw/write a letter responding to a keyword given by a moderator. The adventure aims to explore the capabilities of the two technical approaches. It delivers one letter daily and takes place online, where the visitors are invited to vote for their favorite.
Right-to-Left
Right now in Berlin is a rather incredible exhibition and lecture series dealing with typography and graphic design in the Middle East.
“Why do we (still) use Cyrillic?” Talk
Fellow typographic comrade Alexei Vanyashin is visiting Berlin and offered to share with us his talk titled “Why do we (still) use Cyrillic?”. As seen at the TypoLublin conference a few days ago, this impromptu talk will enlighten you about modern Cyrillic and it’s continuing importance.
Chromeography
“Chromeography” celebrates the metallic emblems that gave names and life to vintage automobiles, domestic appliances, and other consumer objects. Curated by Stephen Coles, this collection of photos and physical chrome emblems tells a fascinating story of the changing trends and ideals of the last hundred years simply through metal lettering.
Please join us Friday, November 16th from 6pm for the opening reception. Stephen will be on hand to answer all your questions about anything chrome lettering to font identification.
And as always, there will be plenty of free drinks and loads of new books and typographic goodies to check out!
The opening party is tomorrow, Friday November 15th, from 18:00.
The show runs from November 15th – December 22nd.
