Type Directors Club Hebrew Weekend

April 11-13

The increasing demand for multilingual typefaces has been boosted by the latest developments in the technologies of communications. The adoption of Unicode, and the industry-wide transition to OpenType font format has put the skills and the expertise of type designers to a new test. There is a growing expectation of their being able to develop typefaces with expanded glyph sets that cover not one but a number of scripts.

To address numerous problems of non-Latin type design, the Type Directors Club is offering a series of two-day professional seminars and workshops, TDC Non-Latin Weekends.
This particular TDC event is the third seminar in the series. Two earlier non-Latin seminars - Cyrillic, led by Maxim Zhukov, and Greek, led by Gerry Leonidas - were held in 2007. The seminar on Arabic, to be coordinated by Mamoun Sakkal, is scheduled to take place this fall.
Hebrew Weekend will be conducted by Adi Stern, a well-known expert in Hebrew type design and typography and a senior lecturer at the Bezalel Academy of Art and Design in Jerusalem, Israel.

Preliminary session and evening reception: Friday, April 11

April 11-13, 2008
