The Association Typographique Internationale

The Association Typographique Internationale (ATypI) is the global forum and focal point for the type community and business. Founded in France in 1957, ATypI is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization incorporated in California, United States. ATypI draws members from all over the world in furtherance of its educational mission-to support and promote typeface design, typography, and the related arts and sciences, as well as those working, teaching, and studying in these fields. ATypI presents conferences, workshops, seminars, and other events in cities worldwide and online, where members and stakeholders gather to discuss typography, font design, language, type technology, typographic education and research, lettering, calligraphy, printing history, letterpress, and related subjects. The nonprofit also produces books and other educational resources devoted to type design and typography. The association's next event, ATypI Tech Talks 2021, will be held online May 3-5. The conference program will feature several sessions centered around typeface classification.
