Please join us, Thursday 21 August, 5-7pm for the opening celebration of TDC70 Aotearoa | Typography Shifted.

Organised and supported by creative agency Osborne Shiwan, the annual Type Directors Club awards recognise design excellence and typographic innovation. Selected from over 2,000 entries from 63 countries by a diverse jury of leading designers, the resulting TDC exhibition travels to cities across the Americas, Asia, and Europe.

This, its 70th realisation, marks the return of TDC to AUT, which hosted the first presentation in Tāmaki Makarau. The theme ‘Typography Shifted’ seeks to explore the ever-shifting nature of typography in design, as represented by one hundred projects in the exhibition, including works by Apple, Base Design, Extended Whānau, Foreign Policy Design Group, Landor, Pentagram, Studio Dumbar, The New York Times, and Wolff Olins.

TDC70 Aotearoa is principally sponsored by Osborne Shiwan and Klim Type Foundry. The Gallery wishes to acknowledge all the generous supporters who have made this exhibition possible:
