This is one of a series of workshops run by With Relish creative director Sarah Hyndman as part of the new Type Tasting initiative. The St Bride Library is a well respected organisation which makes a good stage to pose the question ‘what is the future of type?’. The workshop has been featured in the design press, listed in Eye magazine and Creative Review and Design Week have set the question as their Voxpop which was answered by typographer Erik Spiekermann and Typographic Circle president Alan Dye.

Airships were the ‘ocean liners of the sky’ in the early 20th century but they were expensive and the technology was volatile. Since the 1960s airships have used non-flammable helium and once filled they consume very little energy which makes them one of the greenest forms of long distance transport.
With Relish have created the visual identity for the Philharmonia Orchestra’s pan-European series celebrating the centenary of Polish composer Witold Lutosławski.
Type as Image
Home Using type as a graphic device is a powerful typographic tool – the way in which a word is written, or what medium it is written in, can often express a desired message much more succinctly or poignantly than an image might be capable of. Meaning can be added to words through the shape/form that they take as well as what they actually say.
