Building Ligatures book & Barcelona event

Our Building ligatures book

Some business strategies insist that if you want it done right, you have to do it yourself. But in type design, we bet it all on relationships because no one person can be a specialist in everything. Our Building Ligatures book emphasises this part of our story — the priority of relationships — since it is the core of who TypeTogether is. Speaking of relationships, the entire team will be in Barcelona, Spain the evening of 6 September for the book launch at Escola Bau and we’d love to see you there! Exact schedule to be announced. So grab your copy, come say hello, and expand your world with our multiscript capabilities.
