Meet Us at TYPO Berlin

Two members of the FontStruct team, Stephen Coles and myself, will be talking about FontStruct at this year’s TYPO Berlin conference. TYPO is in the “Haus der Kulturen der Welt” in Berlin, Germany. Our talk is on Thursday, 29th May at 5p.m. There’s more information on the event and location on the TYPO website.

Conference registration is sold out, but we’re on a stage in an area with free public access, so if you’re in the neighborhood, please stop by, especially if you have any questions or suggestions for the FontStruct team.
