You've got a week to take part in typedirectors annual competition!⁠
⁠
Since 1946, Type Directors Club has set the standard for typographic excellence — recognising outstanding work in communication design, typeface design, and lettering across the globe.⁠
⁠
For many creatives, a TDC win is the ultimate badge of honour. Designers we’ve featured — from Rozi Zhu and My-Lan Thuong to Sharp Type — know the impact it carries.⁠
⁠
So what is the TDC Competition?⁠
⁠
Each year, the TDC brings together a global jury of experts to review anonymised submissions purely on merit. It’s not a popularity contest — it’s peer recognition from those who understand the craft, context, and care behind great typography.⁠
⁠
In TDC71 alone:⁠
🌍 60 countries⁠
🔤 37 languages⁠
✍️ 19 scripts⁠
📩 1,775 entries⁠
🏆 203 winners⁠
⁠
Selected works are featured in the TDC winners’ annual publication, TDC’s extensive social channels and website, and lastly, touring 8 shows that travel worldwide. ⁠
⁠
Thinking of entering?⁠
Your experience level and location don’t matter. This is a global conversation — not a closed circle.⁠
