1 typeface - Early Bird Rate April 25 (€ 269 for Regular)

It’s that time again: For the seventh(!) time, we’re kicking off our Call for Entries for the Yearbook of Type!! Very excited, we start into this process with an updated design concept, with the book concept itself still in the proven successful manner of the last six editions. The book will be published in autumn 2024 and—as always—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.

  
This time, each individual typeface in the Yearbook of Type is presented on not only two, but three pages: a spread with an appealing visual specimen of the typeface that we develop to match the character of the typeface. The third page is a detailed overview of the typeface and its specifics, info about language support, styles, weights and widths, OpenType features, and detailed background information about the designer and foundry.

  
The typeface catalog is followed by an index of all featured designers and typefaces, as well as an explanation of all key OpenType features. To round the content off, we will feature some insights into the world of type design and designers in the form of essays and interviews.

  
The corresponding microsite of the Yearbook features all typeface that made it into the book, allowing easy browsing and direct purchase of the fonts. NEW: The microsite is now freely accessible online for everyone, and no longer protected by a password barrier for the exclusive use of book buyers, making it a well-organized online library of the newest high quality typefaces. Moreover: All microsites of the last editions are now also available for free for the public!

  
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!
