Typeface as a programme

In 2009 the École Cantonal d’Art de Lausanne (ÉCAL) published Typeface As Program, a book which originated in the efforts of its graphic design programme to teach type design as a separate discipline. The print run was limited, and as is generally the case with books published (and subsidised) for specific occasions, Typeface As Program has long been sold out and will not be reprinted. Since it would be a shame to let this valuable resource disappear, we are very pleased that ÉCAL and Jürg Lehni, the author of the essays and interviews, have agreed to let us republish the texts online.
