With an emphasis on design, society, culture – with a little bit of kerning, the two-day TYPO SF conference adapts one of Europe’s most successful design events with a Bay Area twist, and it's happening April 30-May 1, 2015 at the YBCA.

2015 THEME: FOCUS

Focus permeates the designer’s everyday world – from specializing in one specific area or discipline, concentrating on getting that client project done on deadline, or zooming in on the pixels of your typeface. Within the industry, shifts in focus are constant. Does a designer choose to learn web, print, mobile or be a jack-of-all-trades? Does a graphic designer take on type design? Should a visual artist delve into UX? Do type foundries dedicate more attention to webfonts? By focusing on “Focus,” TYPO San Francisco will bring together a diverse slate of international and local speakers to explore this theme through a creative’s lens.
