Fontstand Conference 2023
Ondrej Jób from Setup Type designed the branding for the 2023 Fontstand International Typographic Conference held in Dublin, Ireland. Similar to previous years, the conference’s visual identity utilises various typefaces from Fontstand’s online rental font catalog. This year’s primary font choices write “Fontstand” in Megazoid by DJR, “International” in Origin Super Condensed by Production Type, “Typography” in LeMark by Playtype, and “Conference” in the yet unreleased Async Sans by Setup.
The featured typefaces are set in single words and enveloped in rounded rectangular “buttons” or “cards”, which are then used as modular parts, and aligned either left or light to their boundary box for a digital-forward look. Graphic elements continued the use of gradients, this time referencing the host country’s flag.
Speaker names are shown in additional typefaces that were either designed by the person in question or were otherwise found to be a good match.
