Call for Entries Yearbook of Type 2022/23

Here we go again: After the success of the first five editions, the Call for Entries for the Yearbook of Type 2022/23 stars again! The Yearbook of Type VI will be published in autumn 2022 and will follow the same design concept as the fifth edition. It presents a selection of contemporary typefaces from larger typeface publishers as well as smaller, independent typographers and foundries in the form of a clear, comprehensive compendium.

Each individual typeface in the Yearbook of Type is presented on one spread. The left side shows a visual with a detailed view of the type and an initial visual impression. We will take a close look at each typeface and its specifics and then develop a design that shows its character, language support, styles, weights, and widths, special glyphs, OpenType features, and possible application areas. On the right side more detailed background information about the designer and the foundry is provided as well as a list of the typeface’s different features.

The catalog is followed by an index of all the included typefaces arranged by category. Short texts provide information on individual type foundries and an essay section offers sketches, background knowledge, technical information, instructions and descriptions from the world of typography. Additionally, it offers an overview and a description of the technical supports of each typeface and, as a new component, includes a key with information about OpenType features.

On the Yearbook’s microsite, all typefaces that made it into the book will be presented on screen. Users will be able to directly select, try or buy the typefaces. The microsite simplifies the connection between print and web and helps with a quicker connection between users and Type Foundries.

The informative presentation of the typefaces—in the book as well as online—serves graphic designers and agencies as a source of inspiration and can be a big help with selecting the right typeface. As a catalog and reference work the Yearbook of Type is also of interest to all those who are interested in the contemporary world of typography and the latest in typeface design.

We are looking forward to another great edition with you!
