- We seek to critically review how past technological advancements have shaped our current understanding of fonts and letterforms. Additionally, we aspire to glimpse into the future to anticipate upcoming developments. In particular, we hope to critically assess the applications of machine learning, exploring its potential and limitations. The conference welcomes designers, technologists, historians, and researchers.
