TypeCon2003 builds on the foundation of previous events, offering four full days of workshops, presentations, and panel discussions. More than 65 of the most respected names in the type, design, books arts, new media, and education fields make up a stellar cast of speakers and workshops leaders.

This year’s conference offers a rich mixture of contemporary and historical programming. Letterpress printing, the history of wood type, sign painting, calligraphy, and glass gilding are among the traditional arts in focus at TypeCon2003. The program explores the latest in digital font production tools and techniques, typography for the screen, typographic education, online type news and discussion forums, and much more.
