Old Type, New Type: Marta Bernstein in conversation with Alexander Tochilov

Marta Bernstein will take you back in time to the Nineteenth Century through its overly-decorated, quirky, and extremely lively typefaces.
Can we still learn anything from the past? Do we really need to preserve all that old paper artifacts? Public libraries, dusty archives, and long forgotten books: what feeds creativity is often waiting in disguise.
After Marta’s presentation, we’ll be joined by Alexander Tochilovsky, the director of The Herb Lubalin Study Center. The two will engage in a conversation about type, design, history, and archives.
