We are inviting to participate in an international call for applications for recently drawn, unpublished type designs by students. The selected project will be shown at the gallery of Lorraine Fine Art School in Metz, a nice exhibition space of 300 qm in the center of the city. A free take-away catalogue will be distributed at the opening of the exhibition. Please send us your typefaces, undergraduate, graduate and post-graduate students !
