Tokyo Type Directors Club (TDC) exhibition 2008 started April 4, 2008 at ggg gallery in Ginza. There are many unique and interesting typography works and type designs included TDC prize award winning works. Especially, award winning TDC prize Latin typeface design Frida, which was designed by Fernando De Mello Vargas who is a student of Reading UK, was very interesting multi lingual font. Frida supports Latin and Tamil scripts. I met Fernando at the party after the Christian Schwartz’s presentation, but I didn’t have enough time to chat with him, so I hope to meet him again.

And Jiyu Kobo, which is one of the most respected foundries in Japan, also got the TDC prize.
This exhibition continued through April 26(Sat.) and will be held at ddd gallery in Osaka Dojima from June 13(Fri.) to July 23(Wed.), 2008.
