type conference :: x-height

"X-HEIGHT"
non-digital typography in a modern era.

In typography, the 'x-height' refers to the distance between the baseline and the mean line in a typeface. The median, if you will. Therefore, our conference is a meeting ground between non-digital typography in a modern digital age.
Our typographic conference will address the topic of non-digital and hand rendered typography. Things such as letterpress, unconventional materials and/or mediums, old type methods and processes. Activities include lectures from prominent designers and studios, demonstrations, exhibitions, and more. Even in today's increasingly digital world, non-digital typography still has a firm place in the field of design.

conference artifacts will include items such as: 

• t-shirts
  
• backpack/laptop cases
  
• armbands (to denote staff, administration, etc)
• schedules (with lanyard)
• website
• exhibition book (a print showcasing all of the gallery work and possibly some event photos. will be published post-conference.)
• convention dvd - an archive of conference highlights, lectures, etc.

Guest speakers at this event include Yee-Haw Industries and artists Eva Bachmann and Jonas Jaegar. Bachmann and Jaegar work in Wuerzburg, Germany. Their recent project, "Typotonic," explored the use of a liquid media (in this case, tonic water) in the rendering of typography. Using a pipette, they applied the tonic water to a flat surface. Afterwards, they digitalized their liquid type and created a truetype font, Aquabembo.
