SUMMARY:Cancelled for March - TypeThursdayNYC
DESCRIPTION:TypeThursdayNYC is a monthly gathering of type geeks\, held at Type Directors Club. We like to think of ourselves as a type superfamily: we attract local letterform lovers hailing from all disciplines and levels of expertise. Social hours bookend the centerpiece of our event\, a group critique we refer to as Type Crit. \nWhat the font is Type Crit‽ \nBriefly: It’s a critique. Of letterforms. No grades. Plenty of wine. \nVerbosely: Type Crit is a group critique of up to four\, in-progress projects involving letterform design and/or usage. You can get\, give\, or simply listen to feedback—your pick! Discussion is moderated by a TypeThursdayNYC dialogue lead—we pride ourselves on fostering a friendly forum for constructive\, thoughtful advice that’ll raise the baseline on your letterform game. \nQUICK LINK: Sign up to present work for feedback at Type Crit \nWhat’s the program for the evening? \n6:00pm – 6:45pm: Check in & Socializing\n6:50pm: Opening Statements | Introduction\n7:00pm – 8:00pm: Type Critiques\n8:00pm: Closing Comments | Outro\n8:10pm – 8:45pm: Socializing & End of Event
