Advertising Type: Women in Digital Design

April 27–November 5, 2023

Large Print Version

Unlike general advertising posters, type specimen posters are targeted to graphic designers who are in the market to buy or use a typeface in a project.

All of the posters in this exhibition advertise digital typefaces, showcasing the myriad women who are thriving and expanding the world of type design.

This exhibition was created in partnership with the Type Directors Club and Amber Weaver of You Creative Media.
