— Conference Type, Art and Movement | María Ramos María Ramos, founder of NM Type, presents an approach to the multiple forms of our alphabet, which translate into the search for original ideas by * type designers *, who are constantly seeking inspiration. In collaboration with Design Indaba, NM Type created Movement, an experimental font inspired by the art of dance. María worked as a graphic and editorial designer, but through design projects, she discovered a new path for her career - type design.

— Draw-Cut-Paste: Building Experimental Paper Typography | Joana Correia, Maria Ramos, Viktoriya Grabowska

Guided by the three speakers, this workshop addresses typography that lives within the confines of the alphabet and letter shapes. The workshop explores the possibilities of creating new typographic forms made of paper as new symbols of human expression. The goal is to experiment with letter shapes and transport them to a different level. Overcoming the boundaries of design, of fonts, while ignoring the limitations of technology, is the goal to be achieved through the use of key concepts (boundaries, boundaries, interior / exterior, etc.) as a starting point.
