Community: education, talks & workshops
We’ve already made a lot of noise about 2020 Gerard Unger Scholarship winner Anya Danilova and her Rezak type family. Here’s an interview with her and the scholarship announcement. José co-authored another book (Legibilidad y tipografía: la composición de los textos, “Legibility and typography: the composition of texts”,) this past year and wrote a short blog post as well.
