letterspace.amsterdam // meetup #00
Details
Our studio is starting a lecture series under the umbrella of letterspace.amsterdam. In our first event, we all introduce ourselves. Do you need a new corporate identity, an animated logo, exhibit design? Maybe a new typeface or piece of lettering? Do you need a new house? Or to figure out a better interior design to encourage co-working in your office? Chances are, one of us here at Zeeburgerpad 51h can do it! So join us for a drink and short presentations at 18:30 on December 13th.

letterspace is new platform situated in Amsterdam Oost, and as of 2018 will host a monthly series of lectures about experimentation, innovation and research in type.
As hosts, we are interested in expanding more traditional definitions of type (design) established within education programmes and institutions. We are excited to welcome a lively and diverse group of artists, designers and researchers to explore type happening in Amsterdam.
