Type Brigade is Vancouver’s type design and typography meetup, where we host speakers every other month. This Type Walk is an off-month special event to coincide with Vancouver Design Week.

The Workshop

6:00–8:00PM

The first portion of the evening will be a workshop hosted by Ross Milne of Working Format. Ross studied type design at the internationally acclaimed Type & Media masters course at the Royal Academy of Art (KABK), is a contributing designer with Commercial Type in New York, and with Typotheque in the Hague, Netherlands.

This will take place at Chloi HQ, the Chloi Inc. office.

The Walk

8:30–9:30PM

Chloi HQ is in Gastown, which makes it only a short walk to the second half of the evening: the walk! The Type Walk itself will be hosted by Christian Dahlberg of Vancouver Neon.

About Vancouver Design Week

Among other things, Vancouver Design Week is looking to

cross-pollenate and empower designers and design-thinkers across disciplines … in Vancouver, and beyond. Vancouver Design Week

This is something particularly important to us with Type Brigade. Type has a place in most disciplines, and is a great way to start conversations about design.

Hope to see you on September 26th!
