A sound can touch, irritate and connect. So can typography!

For its 30th anniversary, the Leipziger Typotage is focussing on the relationship between type and sound - on the Sound of Type. Because typography can be experienced not only visually: it has rhythm, tempo, volume and pauses. What does typography sound like? What acoustic, musical or linguistic qualities are contained in letters, words and typefaces? And how do sound, voice and rhythm influence our perception of type?

Renowned speakers have been invited to look at and discuss the topic from their very different perspectives. More information and programme.
