Exploring the materiality of language
The Ligatures Special Interest Group (SIG) aims to highlight the richness of human expression and cultural narratives through research on the design and materiality of written language across different cultures and technologies.
Our mission focuses on preserving typographic heritage, fostering intercultural connections, embracing diversity.
Addressing social issues, we aim to create an inclusive environment for dialogue and research, connecting students, researchers, and professionals in shaping the future of design.
