Ale Paul @ The Type Directors Club NY 6/8/11

I recently interviewed Jessica Hische for a monthly illustration column I write for the leading design magazine in Argentina, 90+10. It was the first time I realized how much illustration can be found in typography, though it doesn’t mean (at all) the two always use each other.

Ever since then I’ve been paying much more attention to typography, understanding it’s not only a tool that often complements illustration, but it can also be seen as illustration if we stretch the definition of what we do just a bit.

This is all to humbly justify my posting a typography piece of news here, hoping you’ll find it as interesting as I do.

Typographer Ale Paul, co-founder of the internationally renowned typography collective Sudtipos, will be lecturing at The Type Directors Club in New York on Wednesday, June 8th, 6- 7.30 PM (as part of the Type Masters Week NYC.)

Sudtipos features over 100 different fonts by typographers, graphic designers and illustrators- just like us!

They include: Ale Paul, Angel Koziupa, Laura Varsky, John Moore, Eli Castellanos, Ariel Di Lisio, Alfredo Graziani, Ariel Garofalo, Daniel Hernández, Miguel Hernández, Diego Giaccone, Alfredo Graziani, Mati, Valeria Duarte, Claudio Pousada, Augusto Consthanzo, Jorge Alderete, Facundo Velilla, Natalia Español & Charles Bluemlein.

Hope you can make it. Ale is a very nice guy too, besides being good at what he does.
