SUMMARY:Typography After Dark w/ Special Guests
DESCRIPTION:A sexy night to step into the sultry world where letters meet libido. \nTypography After Dark explores the penetrative role of typography in porn\, from vintage erotica to modern-day visual media. Discover how typefaces shape desire\, communicate intimacy\, and play a subtle yet powerful role in the art and marketing of sensuality. \nJoin Silas Munro\, Yihuang Zhou\, Elizabeth Goodspeed & Zipeng Zhu for an evening of saucy talks\, juicy visuals\, and anything goes discussions about the intersection of design\, sexuality\, and culture. Whether you’re a designer\, a typophile\, or simply curious\, this event promises to unveil the playful\, provocative\, and profound stories hidden in the curves and contours of the letters we love. \nBUY TICKETS \n\n  \nSilas Munro is a designer\, artist\, writer\, researcher\, curator and surfer.
