Málaga Type 2024
Fifth Edition of the Typography and Editorial Design Event
Organized by Rayitas Azules, a top Spanish blog on typography and editorial design, Málaga Type v.5 will take place at the Cervezas Victoria Brewery in Málaga, Spain, on November 8th, 2024. This year’s event will feature prominent figures, including Spike Spondike, a type designer at Monotype; Laia Guarro, designer and studio founder; and Diego Obiol, journalist, graphic designer, and independent publisher. Laura Meseguer, type designer, and Ana Moliz, designer and typographer, will give a special presentation as the newly appointed AtypI delegates.
For the first time, Málaga Type is thrilled to have Monotype as a sponsor. Monotype, a leading global company in type design, is known for its dedication to advancing typography worldwide.
Now in its fifth edition, Málaga Type has successfully established itself in the exceptional setting of the Cervezas Victoria Brewery. This venue, along with an impressive lineup of speakers from typography, calligraphy, lettering, and editorial design, positions Málaga Type as a key reference in the industry.
The event is organized by designers Ana Moliz, Salva Cerdá, Esther Sepúlveda, Cecilio Cobos, and Lidia Pinta. Ana and Salva, both designers and educators at the La Gauss design school, have extensive experience and balance teaching with their careers as graphic designers. They also co-founded Rayitas Azules, a nationally recognized blog on editorial design and typography. Esther Sepúlveda, designer and communications specialist, contributes to organizing, content creation, and event calendar management.
