"Printing Types: New Zealand type design since 1870 is an occasion to consider the work of local type designers. This is an important project because as curator Jonty Valentine says 'it is remarkable how un-heroic and invisible the history of type design has been here'. While type design has been the focus of a local journal (The National Grid) and an international conference staged in New Zealand (TYPESHED11) Printing Types is the first exhibition and related publication completely focused on contemporary and historical New Zealand type design."
