It is not only about type with Maria Doreuli

This talk took place on Monday, July 19, 2021 as part of Type@Cooper’s Herb Lubalin Lecture Series and thanks to the generosity of TypeCulture, an archive of the events is made possible for viewing.
Type design may be perceived as a very specialized and even isolated field. We often hear about the very few job opportunities and a limited potential for career growth. But is it really so? What are the various fields within typography and type design that you can dive in pursuing your love for letters? Maria will talk about the different interests and activities that intertwine and help her stay independent.
Maria Doreuli is the founder of an independent studio Contrast Foundry. In 2018, craving for new challenges, she relocated to California. Focusing on type design, Maria believes in the power of emotion and working with passion. She’s open to new opportunities and aims to experiment more to find unexpected forms of expression.
Traditional and experimental, self initiated and commercial, her projects have been honored by many international awards-ADC, Communication Arts, Morisawa, Red Dot and Type Directors Club (New York) among others.
