Join us at TypeCon2005 as we celebrate Type Week
in NYC!
Each summer, the non-profit Society of Typographic Aficionados (SOTA) presents TypeCon in a different host city. This year, SOTA has partnered with the Type Directors Club (TDC) to present TypeCon2005: Alphabet City. SOTA’s seventh annual conference will be held July 20-24, 2005, at Parsons School of Design in New York.
NYC mayor Michael Bloomberg has declared July 18-24 to be Type Week
in New York because of TypeCon and related activities. You can be part of this week of typographic excitement!
TypeCon is extremely affordable, offering five days of workshops, presentations, panel discussions, exhibitions, and special events. TypeCon2005 features New York names like Gail Anderson, Peter Bain, Ed Benguiat, Louise Fili, Alexander Isley, Paula Scher, and Jakob Trollbäck. Presenters from outside North America include Neville Brody, Dave Farey, Mario Feliciano, Alessio Leonardi, Erik Spiekermann, and Strange Attractors.
Topics for TypeCon2005 will include typography and design for publications, graffiti and tattoo lettering, blackletter typography, the work of Eric Gill, design education, calligraphy, and type in motion. TypeCon2005 will feature the premiere of the second annual Typophile Film Festival, and the openings of exhibitions from the TDC, SOTA, and FontShop International.

Transportation in NYC!
New York is easy to get around. It's hot and sticky this time of year, so if you're a delicate flower, don't plan on walking to Parsons from the Roosevelt every day. Cabs are plentiful, and can take 4 people at a time. A cab share will cost about $2-3 per person each way with 3-4 people in the cab. The subway is another great option. Get a metro pass for a week for $24, which gives you unlimited rides.

Typeradio will be on the air at TypeCon2005!
TypeCon2005 is pleased to announce the European crew of Typeradio will cover Type Week in New York, live from TypeCon2005 headquarters at Parsons. Typeradio will feature four days of interviews, music, radio programs, and newsflashes from inside the type world. The Typeradio crew will broadcast live through the internet straight from the conference! Stay tuned to Typeradio starting July 20.
From our friends at Typeradio:
"Typeradio is not a stiff multinational enterprise, but a small, flexible project that requires your participation!
In the midst of preparing and packing their stuff, radio hosts Donald Beekman and Liza Enebeis are curious about your ideas. If you have good stories, news, sound, or anything else which you think is interesting for Typeradio, please email Donald and Liza immediately at info@typeradio.org. Your ideas and help are highly appreciated."
