Matter of Type, 12th Typography Meeting Book of Proceedings

The Meeting matterofType led us to the above reflection, from which we structured the 12th edition of the Typography Meeting (12ET). Held each year at a different Portuguese higher education institution, at the invitation of ATIPO, the 12ET took place at the University of Beira Interior from December 13th to 16th, 2022, organized by the Faculty of Arts and Letters and the Arts Group of LabCom – Communication and Arts. Its purpose remained to disseminate technical and scientific knowledge through the gathering of prominent speakers, both national and international, encouraging discussion, knowledge acquisition, inspiration, and critical thinking in the convergence of what Matter of Type is and contemporary typographic practices.
