Conference Talk

David Jon Walker

A Typographic Evolution

Early aesthetic influences resurface as David takes us for a walk of his typographic explorations that have expanded his use of form and application. The investigation of historical artifacts, architectural elements, and environmental recognition provide a never-ending supply of inspirational material for letterform design.

This talk is scheduled to take place , 2023, at New York time (/UTC) as part of the main Typographics conference. Conference registration is required to attend in person.
