A design festival for people who use type.

Typographics Festival

This is about a 2-hour/~3-mile walk through rolling, partly shaded pathways. For those interested, there's a lunch option (self-paid) after

The Green-Wood Cemetery

<p>Walking through a cemetery for fun may sound strange to some, but for those of us who are interested in lettering, it’s like going to a museum. Green-Wood Cemetery, which dates to 1838, is a beautiful green space in Brooklyn that not only has historic lettering but is now home to many New York luminaries such as DeWitt Clinton, Louis Comfort Tiffany, “Boss” Tweed, Samuel Morse, Basquiat, Leonard Bernstein, and of course, Peter Cooper. On this walk, we will focus on finding 18th &amp; 19th-century ornamental lettering, but along the way, we will uncover just about every typographic style you can think of on the tombstones and mausoleums within this national historic site. Join us Tuesday for more!</p>
