I was lucky enough to attend the E-motional Type lecture at the British Library last night, the final event of their Spring Festival. It was a rare opportunity to hear from FUSE legends Neville Brody and Jon Wozencroft, along with Adrian Shaughnessy, Jonathan Barnbrook and Teal Triggs. Each speaker was given ten minutes (ish) to make their presentation on the role of type and visual language. I thought the format was a great success, with a wide variety of topics covered; from the experimental work of Brody & Wozencroft (celebrated in their special boxed set of FUSE 1-20), to the thought-provoking projects of Barnbrook, the passionate feminism of Triggs and the quick-witted commentary of Shaughnessy. Just my ‘type’ of evening!
