TypeCon is an annual conference presented by the non-profit Society of Typographic Aficionados (SOTA), an international organization dedicated to the promotion, study, and support of typography and related arts.

The majority of the TypeCon program (see below) takes place at the Hilton Minneapolis from August 28th to September 1st in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Consult the TypeCon program page for other venues and special event details that will be added.

We will be showing all of the award-winning Typeface Designs in a special exhibition alongside the TDC65 Communication Design winners.  Stop by to say hello!  We will also be hosting a special evening with Juan Carlos Pagan on August 29 that you will not want to miss.
