Last year I was honored to give the 50th Dwiggins Lecture for the Society of Printers in Boston. The recording is now up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4LEnuM0e1U
In the talk I try to capture what gives WAD’s type so much life, and suggest some contemporary designers whose work also has those attributes. Featuring @djrrb, Cyrus Highsmith, Sofia Mohr, John Downer, Franziska Weitgruber, @SandrineNugue, @klim.

@typographica@typo.social @djrrb@mastodon.social @SandrineNugue@typo.social Oh, that’s a lovely lecture. Thanks for the mention — I had never made the connection between Siggy and Experimental 249!

@typographica@typo.social I would love to visit the Letterform Archives someday. I wish I could once!
