TypeCon
The Society of Typographic Aficionados (SOTA) is an international not-for-profit organization dedicated to the promotion, study, and support of type; its history and development; its use in the world of print and digital imagery; its designers; and its admirers.
SOTA exists for the affordable education of its members and participants; to further the development of type, typographical information and typography; and to appreciate on multiple levels the attributes of type, typography, design, the book arts, and calligraphy.
Since 1998, SOTA is committed to sponsoring relevant topics in pursuit of these goals through TypeCon — its annual conference, which is held in a different host city each year.
