The curator of the Herb Lubalin Study Center, Alexander Tochilovsky will discuss the history of the center and the evolution of its collection. The talk will also focus on a few recent acquisitions of Japanese graphic design ephemera made during a trip to Tokyo. There is something magical about the serendipity of finding interesting ephemera, and even more so because of the stories and names they reveal. The talk will shed light on some wonderful objects and the designers behind them.

Alexander Tochilovsky is a graphic designer, typographer, curator, and educator, with nearly 20 years of professional experience, and 10 years of experience teaching typography. He graduated with a BFA from The Cooper Union, and holds an MFA from Cranbrook Academy of Art. He is currently the Curator of the Herb Lubalin Study Center of Design and Typography. Since 2007 he has taught typography and design at the Cooper Union School of Art, and also teaches the history of typeface design at Type@Cooper, the postgraduate certificate program he co-founded in 2010.

About the Type Directors Club

Established in 1946, the TDC today curates a calendar of typographic intrigues designed to:

— build a community through public events and platforms

— support the growth of students and early career professionals

— recognize excellence in type design across the world.

TDC Virtual Salons

We have invited designers, curators, writers, and friends of the TDC to show you their work, where they work, and why they do what they do so expertly and exceptionally well. In doing so, the TDC wants to bring together people who love typography and to inspire them to research, experiment, write, create and share.
