The Fifth Annual Typographic Carousel was held in the University Gallery of the Vignelli Center for Design Studies on Halloween 2014. Participants were encouraged to dress in costume, and many did! The Terminals included Letterpress, Calligraphy, Transfer Lettering, Conceptual Lettering, Typeface Anatomy and the RIT Handlettering Club Terminal.
the 100 participants had a great time and many took home some cool type-related swag!
This event is coordinated with Professor Carol Fillip.
