The 10th Typography Meeting will be held in Matosinhos, under the Satellites program of Porto Design Biennale, in an event organized by ESAD College of Art and Design and esad—idea Research in Design and Art. The theme of this year’s edition is Borders, a theme that seeks to stimulate what we believe to be relevant in today's challenging international panorama. The boundary is the line that defines and differentiates the exterior from the interior, determines what is inside and what is outside, and defines the finite and the tangible character of the territories, restricting and limiting them. Typographical designs presuppose their concrete materiality, their physical context, but also the definition and contextualization of their conceptual territory, which goes beyond the author's imperative necessity, the reason for their circumstances, their conveniences, their tools, of its transgressive nature; its limits; its borders. By establishing a limit that defines and determines the reading of the fields that are separate, seemingly antagonistic, and paradoxically complementary, the frontier acquires visibility that converts it into the object of reflection.
