About this Event

Title: Love Letters? How Fonts Shape What We Feel, Think and Believe
Speaker: Emlyn Firth, Art Director & Designer

An ultra-condensed, sans-bullshit talk about our enduring relationship with typography.

Why do typefaces influence our emotions? How do they convey meaning? Can certain fonts embody a sense of place? And in an age where Calibri has been castigated as โ€œwokeโ€, is choosing a font now a political act?

Whether youโ€™re a design junkie or a typophobe, Emlyn will aim to improve your knowledge of all things font, and boost your confidence in using them, transforming the letters you see every day into something you truly understand.
