Typography in LA: 20 x 20 | Online

About this event

Don’t miss our first typographic show n’ tell event, powered by PechaKucha. Our design presenters will speak on the topics of Los Angeles-influenced type design, lettering, environmental design, reading cognition, found type, writing systems and more.

PechaKucha [link:http://www.pechakucha.org/], or ‘chit chat’ in Japanese, was developed by Klein Dytham Architecture, in Tokyo back in 2003. PechaKucha nights now run all over the world. It’s a simple quick-fire format – presenters show 20 images, each for 20 seconds. The night is a great way for people to meet and hear about interesting activity happening locally.

Join us and the Los Angeles Is Just My Type Meetup Group (#LAIJMT) [link:http://www.meetup.com/Los-Angeles-Is-Just-My-Type-Typography-Meetup/] for a fast-paced night of type inspiration and interaction between the disciplines between budding designers and established typographers alike.
