The Gallery at Letterform Archive
In 2021, Letterform Archive opened its first permanent gallery in San Francisco. Culled from its collection of more than 100,000 objects across the history of graphic design, its exhibition program mounts shows on special topics of interest for the creative community, ranging from a centennial celebration of Bauhaus typography to an exploration of the power of letterforms in protest posters. Each show is supported by an online exhibition that shares the gallery experience with international followers, as well as a lavishly illustrated exhibition catalog that captures the show for posterity.

Type for All! Ten Years of Type West
This exhibition celebrates a decade of our type design education program, emphasizing the relationship between Letterform Archive’s collection and the work produced by the students. With original typefaces from every cohort since the program’s inception, the show tracks the evolution of a pedagogy that balances historical reverence with contemporary practice, and highlights a curated showcase of the very best student work in posters, specimens, process books, and sketches.
