Stop believing in the illusion of bad typography! For 2024, Typographic Printing Program breaks the typographic hallucination, daydreaming and misinformation and brings you the full analog phantasma and disillusion.

Typographic Printing Program in Switzerland with Dafi Kühne is an all-round 2-week intensive summer program in Switzerland for international graphic design enthusiasts. The workshop’s goal is to bridge the gap between analog design and production tools and professional contemporary typographic posters. The participants will go through a number of analog tasks to experience the layout qualities of simple type-only layouts. All the experiments and layout exercises will be realized with traditional letterpress printing presses and physical type. Through this very slow but accurate analog process, the participants will learn to put emphasis on concept and micro typography.

This program is a great opportunity for the participants to see and learn first-hand from one of the few internationally renowned contemporary letterpress poster designers.

After a rigorous design process, the participants will each produce a letterpress printed typographic poster printed with a variety of production tools like physical type (wood and metal type), chipboard, lasercut mdf, linoleum, hand-cast Ludlow type slugs, and many more… Every aspect of the design process that is taught and intensely trained with the tutors in the analog way will be easy to translate to the contemporary design practice for the participants’ future career.
