Save the date: 2023 Gerard Unger Scholarship

It’s almost that time again! Each year we hold an open call for submissions to our Gerard Unger Scholarship, a mentorship programme for promising type designers and their designs. Winners get to finish their typeface with the support of our entire TypeTogether team, receive a stipend, and learn all about typeface publishing as they release their font family with us.

The call for entries will be open 15 April through 15 June 2023. Last year we decided to award two designers because we had such impressive submissions, so you get a double-shot this time. All individuals either enrolled in or graduating from a typography course in 2022 or 2023 are invited to submit their designs for consideration. We want to see something fresh, with more than one weight or style, but without any restrictions on creativity or application. So put your finishing touches on it and get ready to submit your typeface beginning 15 April!
