The Call for Submissions for the ATypI 2025 Copenhagen conference is closed. The deadline for submissions is now closed. Speaker announcements are in progress.
ATypI 2025 Copenhagen: Fluidity—Beyond the Static Form will bring together typeface designers, publishers, developers, educators, and other members of the global type, tech, and design communities. ATypI is an international network that spans design professions, company sizes, and geographic areas of activity.
ATypI conferences are known for stimulating environments where participants can meet like-minded professionals and students, make connections across industries, and develop extensive networks of learning, enterprise, and mentorship. In this spirit of comprehension, optimism, and inclusion, we invite designers, typographers, type designers, and type enthusiasts worldwide to attend ATypI 2025 Copenhagen during the last week of April.
As type design continues to integrate advanced algorithms and responsive design principles into its core practice, increasingly we are seeing the effect of this—not only on the heart of the discipline itself—but in the ways that designers and audiences from further afield harness these innovations for not just the further expression of content and narrative, but context and identity too. The role of technology, both in defining and expanding the innovations at play in this scenario, requires that the practice (and its related fields) are ever more socially and culturally responsive to these new environments.
Hence, this conference will embrace the concept of fluidity in relation to all things typographic and beyond. We invite presentations that explore how these innovations are reshaping the field while diversifying and broadening the discussion.
Below is a list of potential topics. The conference will highlight the impact of artificial intelligence and parametric design in typography. You are not limited to the example topics below—propose whatever research and work fits our theme in interesting ways, the evolution of the world of type and design, and the ATypI audience broadly.
Example Topics:
- Automating time-consuming tasks in the type design process
- Enhancing creativity through AI-driven tools and algorithms
- AI-powered adaptive typefaces that respond to content, audience, and environmental context
- Ethical and environmental considerations and challenges of AI in design
- Legal challenges of copyright in parametric and AI-generated content. Can you claim ownership of all possible instances within the parameters you have set?
- The role of parametric design in creating adaptable, scalable typography
- Variable fonts as dynamic solutions that adjust to diverse user needs and devices
- Real-time font customization and its applications in responsive design
- Exploring how parametric design and variable type can be used to develop personalized typographic experiences personalized typographic experiences.
- Script Transformations: Examining the evolution of scripts from traditional calligraphy to modern type, balancing cultural heritage with innovation
- Typography in Education: Exploring best practices and tools for teaching typography, linking calligraphy and contemporary design in curricula
- Interactive Multiscripts: Addressing challenges and innovations in designing for multiscript systems, with a focus on cross-cultural and interactive approaches
- Dynamic Letterforms: Investigating responsive typography, motion design, and experimental type influenced by calligraphic traditions
