The Istanbul Type Seminars are conceived and organized by Onur Yazıcıgil and Alessandro Segalini as lecture and workshop series devoted to encouraging typographic literacy in Turkey. The goal is to provide students, professionals and enthusiasts with an international gathering where ideas and inspiration can be shared and thrived. Moreover, ISType aims to contribute to the development of a typographic heritage in Turkey in which future generations can explore and create further contributions to typographic design and practice.
