About

Words of Type is a platform to expand and practice your knowledge in typography.

With a series of articles, lectures and workshops about diverse content with people speaking multiple languages, they are great opportunities to learn and practice, get live feedback, and discuss with experts from around the world.

Our goal(s)

We are aiming for a place that reflects and cultivates our international typographic world to, eventually, bring people closer together.

COMING SOON: a new version of this website is in progress! Stay tuned!
