ABOUT

SOTA

The Society of Typographic Aficionados (SOTA) was founded in 1997 by Bob Colby. One of its first presidents was Tony Di Pietro. He was succeeded by Tamye Riggs, and Deborah Gonet. [The presidents were originally called directors and then chairs.] The main activity nowadays is the organization of the annual TypeCon conference. Its current mission: "The Society of Typographic Aficionados" is an international not-for-profit organization dedicated to the promotion, study, and support of type, its history and development, its use in the world of print and digital imagery, its designers, and its admirers."

In 2018, the (entirely North-American) Board of Directors consisted of Neil Summerour (Chair), Sharon Oiga, Delve Withrington, Mary Catherine Pflug, Theresa Dela Cruz, Grant Hutchinson, Xerxes Irani, Frank J. Martinez, Erin McLaughlin, Matthew Carter, James Grieshaber, Allan Haley, Richard Kegler, and David Pankow. Interestingly, while society has a strict DMCA policy, the board has people who have a checkered past in this respect.
