HANDS-ON TYPE seeks to explore and reflect on graphic production, the use of moveable types today and the promotion of teaching methodologies based on know-how. From a series of workshops and conferences, a publication will result that builds a parallel narrative between high and low technology in teaching and Design practice. Hands-on Type is promoted by esad–idea, Research in Design and Art and ESAD – College of Art and Design.
