Type for All! Ten Years of Type West

Discover fonts from 31 countries and the typographic history that inspired them

On view in the Main Gallery Sep 26–Nov 15, 2026

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.

Martin Venezky: Process Work

On view in the Reading Room Sep 26 – Nov 8, 2026

Martin Venezky: Process Work explores an intrinsic but less known aspect of Venezky’s creative practice, a body of collage work that exists as a byproduct of the “finished” graphic design objects. These layered, tangled assemblages, and obsessive collections are held together by ordinary clear tape and have been stored away for years in flat files as material evidence of each project’s unique journey. The show also displays more recent experiments where the camera becomes his primary tool to further explore form and materiality. This “process work" is the physical embodiment of the labor, time, rigor, and devotion Venezky puts into his craft and gives viewers a peek into how he creates his signature ornate and dynamic typographic compositions. This exhibition highlights Letterform Archive’s rare collection of process work and opens access to not only design artifacts but also the creative process behind the work.

Martin Venezky: Process Work will include over 50 images made between 1990 to the present, including objects from Venezky’s personal collection.
