Content

Choosing the right typeface is a component of visual composition that is often underestimated. Type design is often not consciously perceived by readers. It communicates subliminally. And powerfully.

Good designers are therefore always on the lookout for new fonts that subtly give texts expression and secure the readers' hotly contested attention. But where can you find new fonts? How do you find your way through the font jungle? Who scouts the best type designers and their latest designs for you?

Julia Uplegger, Raban Ruddigkeit and Lars Harmsen know the international type scene and have been following it for many years. They discover new talents and new typefaces from "old hands". They collect and sort, analyze and evaluate and put together a selection that is close to the trend and of high quality. And they save you the trouble of doing your own research. This is what makes Typodarium so valuable - and has been appreciated for years.
And word gets around.

The Typodarium has established itself as a driving force in the typography scene and is eagerly awaited by designers and agency creatives every year. Every Sunday, it surprises with meta-trends: one hundred years after the Bauhaus moved to Dessau, it presents new modular typefaces. What began as a formal aesthetic experiment by Josef Albers and Herbert Bayer is now experiencing a revival in the digital space of moving typefaces and new geometric compositions.
