So sad to hear of the death of Prof Michael Twyman, who nurtured many budding printing historians (including me) and whose support of and contribution to typographic history is celebrated in the most recent issue of the 'PHS Journal', demonstrating the breadth of his knowledge.

Happy 18th birthday to I Love Typography! John Boardley launched the ILT blog back in 2007 and today as we come of age, we look to the future to see what tech and AI will bring to our type world.
Join us online on Oct 23 and 24 to talk about how AI can change the landscape of type design. From threats to opportunities to cross industry collaboration, this will be the first fully dedicated type conference to this topic.
