\<p\>Letterform Archive’s reading room now serves as a display case for small, short\-run exhibitions\. Our third show, \<a href="https://letterformarchive\.org/visit/\#on\-view"\>\<cite\>Localization: 15 Years of LetterSeed\</a\>\</cite\>, opened this week and runs through the fall\.  It explores the rich typographic landscape of Korean typography and specifically Hangul, the unique writing system of the Korean language, through the lens of a single publication, \<cite\>LetterSeed\</cite\>, which has been published by the Korean Typographic Society since 2010\.\</p\>

\<p\>यह लेटरफॉर्म आर्काइव पर प्रकाशित होने वाला पहला हिंदी लेख है। इसमें दुनिया भर से आई वस्तुएँ शामिल हैं, और यह लेख उनके कुछ चुने हुए उदाहरण प्रस्तुत करता है। इसे लिखने का उद्देश्य सिर्फ़ नए पाठकों तक पहुँचना नहीं है, बल्कि रॉडिकल एक्सेस के विचार को आगे बढ़ाना है, जिस पर लेटरफॉर्म आर्काइव की नींव रखी गई है।\</p\>
- [Type West Alumni Spotlight: 2024–2025](https://letterformarchive.org/news/type-west-alumni-spotlight-2024-2025/): \<figure class="L"\>\<img src="https://letterformarchive\.org/wp\-content/uploads/2026/03/Type\_West\_Alumni\-2024\-2025\.gif"\>\</figure\>
\<p\>It’s hard to believe it’s been ten years since the inaugural class of Type West \(then known as Type@Cooper West\) welcomed its first type design students\! In 2025, we graduated 24 talented individuals from our local cohort in San Francisco and 17 other cities worldwide\. \<strong\>\<a href="https://typewest\.letterformarchive\.org/2025/\#/flora\-de\-carvalho"\>The website\</a\> showcasing the Class of 2025’s final typeface projects is now live\!\</strong\>\</p\>
- [Letterform Archive Pop\-Up Exhibition Curated by Debbie Millman Celebrates a Groundbreaking Book Design](https://letterformarchive.org/news/tristram-shandy-exhibition/): \<figure class="L"\>\<img src="https://letterformarchive\.org/wp\-content/uploads/2026/04/TS\_2000x1000\_A\.png"\>\</figure\> 
\<p\>Letterform Archive is honored to welcome author, artist, educator, designer, and podcast pioneer \<a href="https://debbiemillman\.com/"\>Debbie Millman\</a\> as a guest curator for our latest reading room exhibition\. \<cite\>Tristram Shandy, The First Modern Book\</cite\> showcases a book that, in many ways, feels astonishingly modern—even though it was first published 266 years ago in 1760\.\</p\>
- [From the Collection: Legacies of Swiss Style, Part 2—Wolfgang Weingart](https://letterformarchive.org/news/from-the-collection-legacies-of-swiss-style-part-2-wolfgang-weingart/): \<figure class="XL"\>\<img src="https://letterformarchive\.org/wp\-content/uploads/2026/04/weingart\-banner\-full\.jpg"\>\</figure\>\<p\>In 1972, the editorial board of \<a href: "https://letterformarchive\.org/news/legacies\-of\-swiss\-style\-tyografische\-monatsblatter/"\>\<cite\>\<u\>Typografische Monatsblätter \(TM\)\</cite\>\</u\>\</a\>, one of the leading trade journals in Switzerland, approved a series of cover designs intended to lay the groundwork for the publication’s new artistic direction\. Enlisting newly appointed board member Wolfgang Weingart \(1941–2021\) to produce fifteen covers for the 1972 and ’73 print runs, the outcome inspired both high praise and harsh criticism from a design milieu accustomed to the quiet precision of former art director Robert Büchler \(1914–2005\) and regular contributor Emil Ruder \(1914–1970\)\. Weingart’s provocative covers invited an unprecedented level of controversy by appearing to flout the fundamental principles of modernist design\. Instead, his iconoclastic approach struck at the very heart of the Swiss tradition\.\</p\>
