We are pleased—finally!—to begin releasing videos from the ATypI 2025 Copenhagen conference. We open with the following five talks:
- Petra Rüth — Backslanted Scripts in the Early Modern Period
- Julie Janet — Typefaces Beyond Words: The Shape of Trust
- Sofie Beier — The Role of x-height in Letter and Word Recognition
- Underware (Bas Jacobs, Sami Kortemaki) — Kaleidoscopic Entanglements Reflect Meaning in Type
- Kelli Anderson — Exploring Type History Through Touch (Keynote)
These talks reflect the richness, depth, and diversity of perspectives presented at Copenhagen—spanning history, technology, research, perception, experimentation, and material engagement with type.
The remaining videos will be published in the coming weeks to the ATypI 2025 Copenhagen playlist. We hope you enjoy revisiting these conversations—or discovering them for the first time.
We extend our sincere thanks to all speakers for their contributions, and we warmly encourage you to share your talks on social media. Tag ATypI (@atypi_org and @atypi_community on Instagram), and we will be glad to amplify your posts.
We also wish to thank the video editing team, led by Xunchang Cheng and Yuli Liu, for their dedicated work in preparing these recordings. The team includes volunteers from the Central Academy of Fine Arts, Tongji University, and the University of Reading.
We would like to apologize to our members—especially the speakers—for the delay in releasing these videos. This was due to difficult prioritization decisions made by the ATypI Board while navigating several challenges within a limited budget, as well as the significant editing necessitated by the lighting conditions during the conference.
You can explore the full list of talks via the Copenhagen program. We welcome your thoughts, questions, critiques, and continued discussions in the YouTube comments.
We invite you to join us at ATypI 2026 Stanford to attend numerous similarly diverse presentations, participate in workshops and tours, and—most importantly—develop fruitful relationships with colleagues in this wonderful field.
