We welcomed Ellen Lupton for another talk. She last spoke with the Chicago Graphic Design Club in 2021. This year, she spoke with us about typography and her book Thinking with Type, Third Edition.
More Information:
Ellen discussed how autospacing, Papyrus, and the art of typography affect designers. She introduced Type Mom (her beloved alter ego) and explored Thinking with Type, Third Edition (her latest book). This all-new volume included inclusive design lessons, gorgeous illustrations from the Letterform Archive, and visual essays about diverse writing systems created by expert typographers from around the globe. She shared what she learned while updating her classic guide.
