Originally debuted in New York City, The World’s Best Typography: The 65th Annual Exhibition of the Type Directors Club (TDC65) is a travelling exhibit that features communication design and selections from the twenty-first annual typeface design competition hosted by the Type Directors Club in 2019.

Hosted by Areté, the creativity and innovation hub of Ateneo De Manila University, the exhibition displays typography in a wide range of books, posters, corporate branding, logos, web graphics, film and TV titles, products, and magazines from around the world. This exhibition arrives in Manila after its showings in Tokyo, Seoul, Warsaw, Lille, Barcelona, Nagoya, Minneapolis, Osaka, Taipei, and Ontario.

TDC65 will be on display in Manila, Philippines for a limited run, from February 22-March 27, 2020 in the George SK Ty Learning Innovation Wing of the university. Visiting hours are from Mondays-Fridays from 8 am to 7 pm, and on Saturday from 9 am to 5pm.
