About TDC

The Type Directors Club is an international organization for all people who are devoted to excellence in typography, both in print and on screen. Founded in 1946, today's TDC is involved in all contemporary areas of typography and design, and welcomes graphic designers, art directors, editors, multimedia professionals, students, entrepreneurs, and all who have an interest in type - in advertising, communications, education, marketing, and publishing.

TDC sponsors a variety of lectures, conferences, scholarships, and two prestigious annual competitions in order to reward excellence in the creation and use of typefaces, calligraphy, hand lettering, and other letterforms. Winning entries of the competitions are published in the TDC Typography annual, which is distributed worldwide.
