(Editor's note) 'This catalogue accompanies the student typeface exhibition hosted in conjunction with Brighton's Ampersand Conference, an annual web typography event put on by Clearleft/Fontdeck.
The exhibition is the first of its kind in welcoming submissions from design schools anywhere in the world, the only requirement being that students must have created their typefaces as part of their studies within the last two academic years.
This inclusiveness means that students have submitted work created for varying purposes and from different perspectives. We have engaged students from as far afield as Chile and Japan, from full-time courses devoted wholly to type design as well as from courses that cover typography only as a short module within a broader programme. As such, the exhibition is intended as a panorama of typographic education, showcasing the diverse interpretations of what it means to design a typeface, and hopefully enabling cross-pollination of influences among the upcoming generation of type designers.
It is with great pleasure that we invite you to take a peek behind classroom doors around the world, and to share with you the enthusiasm and innovation going on in type design education today.'
