Some impressions from the TYPO Berlin 2013 bike tour, which was great fun! Many thanks to the Buchstabenmuseum for allowing us to take a peek at their new location, thank you, organizers and guides, for making it possible: Magnus Hengge, Achim Klapp, Franziska Parschau, Jürgen Siebert and Erik Spiekermann, and thanks to everyone who came along! Here are the details of the tour for the number crunchers amongst you!
TYPO London’s facilitator Erik Spiekermann and Phil Baines, professor of typography at Central Saint Martins, invite nine TYPO attendees to follow them on a 2 hour lettering themed bike tour through Bloomsbury on Sunday, October 21st 2012. Get to know their favourite typographic sights: we will be starting at the British Library gates, heading through Bloomsbury (School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine), pass Covent Garden/Trafalgar Square (Coliseum & St Martin’s Schools) and Victoria (New Scotland Yard) and then head north to St Bart’s and Smithfield to end up having a drink there or near King’s Cross.
TYPO London facilitator Erik Spiekermann is as passionate about cycling as he is about typography. To recover from the two days of conference turmoil, Erik volunteered to guide a typographic bike tour around London and to show his favorite font spots to TYPO attendants. Stay tuned for further information.
