The inaugural exhibition presented by the new Hoffmitz Milken Center for Typography, 85_15 Typography: Past/Present/Future, takes as its starting point the year 1930, when ArtCenter was founded. At that time typographic technology had remained largely unchanged since the inception of printing with moveable type in the 15th century. This exhibition looks at the technological shifts from metal and phototypesetting to the digital revolution; analyzes the contemporary typographic landscape; and peers tentatively into the future, positing possible changes in technology and uses of visible language over the next fifteen years. To someone unfamiliar with the subject, the goal of the exhibition is to provide an overview of the history, relevance, and importance of typography. To the trained designer and letterform specialist, the goal is to stimulate dialogue about our collective fascination with the design and use of these humble forms.
