Typographic Portraits by Jan Vermandere

October 23, 2016

Visiting an exhibition has been my favourite pastime, so last Saturday afternoon, after a leisurely stroll through the city center, I went to TypeFaces exhibition, hosted in a little, but very bright space in the former coach house in Gent. After being welcomed by friendly host Jan, I found myself in a company of more than 30 TypeFaces presented in a row alongside the wall, that were gazing at me from their light wood coloured frames.
