During the meeting, Riccardo De Franceschi, Creative Director of Dalton Maag in London, examined how typefaces can make a difference in visual communication if chosen, used and developed appropriately.
He did so by discussing the themes of typographic expression, accessibility, technology and global communication, through in-depth studies dedicated to selected projects – both retail and custom.
