Typography at the Threshold: Designing Type for What Comes Next

Typography at the Threshold examines how type design is shifting as digital environments expand into AR, VR and mixed reality. As technology reshapes how written content is experienced, this talk reframes typography as a functional system that must scale, adapt and remain accessible across constantly changing contexts.

The talk explores how advances such as variable fonts and multiscript technologies have transformed type from a static aesthetic choice into a responsive design tool. It reveals how typographic decisions influence clarity, usability and meaning, often in ways that feel intuitive but are in fact deeply strategic.

This talk brings clarity to the role typography plays in strengthening or undermining entire projects, particularly in digital and emerging environments. The thinking introduced here is extended through a corresponding workshop that translates these ideas into hands-on exploration of function, expression and use.
