Type specimen posters from ArtCenter Font Design 2 Spring 2024 set the backdrop to friends catching up and a marketplace of self-published items. It seems that the Los Angeles type community had been waiting for a reason to come out – people trekked across town and even flew in from parts abroad to meet up. This was the first, but not the last 'One Night Only' - we look forward to 2.0 in the near future.
Thank you to the following for the great work: Jamal Abdullahi (Automaton), Lillian Chen (Dapper), Michelle Constantine Hibbs (Citronelle), Elliana Lee (Ottimo), Austin Liu (Starcrossed), Raphaela Moraes (Sulamericana), Nick Rheem (Fork), Joshua Reyes (Abeja), Angel Sandelson (Atomic), Kalex Shen (Winifred) and Lisa Wei (Blue/Blauw). Marketplace participants inluded: Jeanie Chong and Tezing Wangchuk, Hampton Dunlap, C.C. Elian, Jeremiah McNulty, Michael Rey, Claudio Rodriguez, Chris Stone, Lorna Turner—Small Chop, and HMCT.

The exhibit celebrates typefaces developed over the last 5 years in the Font Design program. Fonts were set in frequently asked questions from a number of institutions across many sectors. In total, there were over 200 posters wheat-pasted to the gallery walls to create an immersive experience. A publication featuring a collection of 44 posters accompanies the exhibit as well.
Greg worked with a select group of students on exploring the possibilities of developing their own font. Focusing on a handful of letters, students began what would become the start of a personal typeface.
A big thank you to Monica Maccaux, design department chair
