I just found out about Typography Day, spanning over three days, held in Mumbai, it showcases new and innovative typography as well discussing issues in the contemporary world related to typography. There are workshops, presentations and experts from all over participate in the sessions.
This will be the fourth year running, and this is the official information about the event.

Typography Day 2011 is being organized at the National Institute of Design, Ahmedabad in collaboration with the Industrial Design Centre (IDC) at the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IIT Bombay) with support from India Design Association (InDeAs).
The event will include a seminar which will be devoted to addressing issues faced by type designers, type users and type educators. The program will feature presentations on the first two days followed by day of workshops dedicated to typography and calligraphy.
The event is planned over three days,
The event is planned over three days,
Day 1-2 : Seminar focusing on ‘Typography and Expression’
Day 2: Workshop on Typography/Calligraphy
Day 2: Workshop on Typography/Calligraphy
Themes
The Seminar will focus on, but will not be limited to the following issues:
- Typographic experiments and explorations with respect to Expressive typography.
- Typographic expression using multilingual scripts.
- Typographic expression in native (indigenous) Scripts.
- Typography as an expression of local contextual design.
- Research activities in expressive typography.
As part of this organisation I intend to run my exhibition focussing on current issues of handwriting, to promote handwriting and the relationship it has with typography. This can run in conjunction with the exhibition, but held in Leeds, clearly not everyone will be able to travel to India to celebrate the art of typography.
It can be international.
