ISType

ISType is an international conference that aims to create opportunities for established and emerging designers to share and develop their knowledge of typography. Occurring biennially in Istanbul, ISType brings together academics, industry professionals, and students—local, regional, and international—to discuss current issues and innovations in typography and to reflect upon developments and opportunities for its future growth.
 
ISType was cofounded by Onur Yazıcıgil and Alessandro Segalini in 2011. The first three events were co-organized by the two of them. In 2015 Onur collaborated with Özlem Özkal and co-organized that year’s event. In 2019 Emre Parlak and Murat Ersoy joined the organization as co-organizers to further develop the conference.
