Typographers stand shoulder to shoulder

Tdc

Tip-top typophile gang The Typographic Circle, based in London, is hosting an exhibition by its brothers and sisters from across the pond, with a show at JWT of work from the annual Type Directors Club competition. It launches on Thursday evening (4 October), and runs till 25 October.

(And judging from that gross misuse of the prime in the block of text above, the London gang might be able to learn a thing or two from the kids from New York.)

If you are at all interested in typography and suchlike, we can highly recommend joining the Typocircle - they put on a bunch of talks and socials, and have a rather wonderful (and award winning) magazine called Circular. Join up here.
