Typographics 2019: MOVE IT! with Zipeng Zhu

This talk took place in The Great Hall at The Cooper Union on June 14, 2019. The livestreaming and video recording were​ made possible by a generous sponsorship from Google.

I’m here to bust a move! ... and by move, I‘m talking about moving type, of course. Even though I don’t got the moves like Jagger, I do know how to keep type moving. Come learn more about type in motion and type with emotions. Hopefully with everything moving can move you a little as well.
