About TDC
The Type Directors Club
The Type Directors Club is the leading international organization whose sole purpose is to support excellence in typography, both in print and on screen. Founded in 1946 by some of the industry's leading practitioners, the TDC's earliest membership included Aaron Burns, Will Burtin, Freeman Craw, Louis Dorfsman, Fene Federico, Edward M. Gottschall, Herb Lubalin, Edward Rondthaler, Bradbury Thompson, and Hermann Zapf. With this solid historical background, the TDC today represents the best of today's type design and type use.
The TDC holds its yearly typographic competition, whose winners are reproduced in our Typography Annual, as well as offering Master Classes, courses, and monthly Type Salons at its Manhattan space.
We welcome all in advertising, communications, education, marketing, and publishing who have a keen interest in type and the written word: graphic designers, art directors, editors, multimedia professionals, students, entrepreneurs.
