Type Directors Club of New York with current show

The ideal addition to the exhibitors’ product displays and special shows (e.g. the drupa innovation park and the drupacube) will be the professional “add-ons” such as the presentations of the Mainz Gutenberg Museum, the Leipzig Museum for Printing Arts and the show of the Type Directors Club of New York (TDC). At drupa 2012, the winning entries of the current worldwide competition will be presented for the first time. The world’s most important competition for typeface and graphic design started as a club internal competition. Today, an award from the Type Directors Club of New York (TDC) is considered the “Oscar for Typography,” a career launching pad and an important creative ranking feature.
