The 5th Meeting of Typography is organized by the Design Department of the Superior School of Technology (EST) of the Polytechnic Institute of Cávado and Ave (IPCA) and is being held in Barcelos, Portugal.

This year’s meeting takes it’s theme — ubiquitous — from the typography’s quality of existing everywhere, or almost everywhere, in it’s diferent contexts and aplications.

The main objective is to stimulate the dissemination, reflection and discussion about typographic research and development on a national and international scale. To do so, we will have a program that includes the participation of researchers, practitioners, teachers and students and their investigations or professional experientes dedicated to typography.

Paralel to the presentations program, there will be invited keynote speakers with an excellence path in the constantly evolving world of typography, as well as a discussion panel, an exhibitions, workshops and social events.

We aim to combine investigation, education, and professional activity, as well as contribute to a rich cooperation and sharing of creative ideas within the typographic community.
