A manifesto by Alphabettes dated June 14, 2020 that was hotly debated on-line. Published in the wake of George Floyd's brutal murder and the failure of the orange presdident to condemn racism, it is a call to action. Their recommendations include the condemnation of racism, the need to diversify educators, students, and curricula, and two other items that caught some attention. They argue that we need to stop using the term "non-Latin": It is exclusionary, and loaded with bias. The single item that drew most in most reactions was this: We need to discontinue the practice of designing for scripts we did not grow up reading and writing for custom/client projects. Somehow, the last point seems to suggest to go back to putting people in labeled boxes, where instead, we should strive for an equal world without borders and passports. Alphabettes is a group of about 250 women in type design, started through the joint effort of Indra Kupferschmid and Amy Papaelias in 2015. [Google] [More] ⦿ | |

The manifesto of the TDC (Type Directors Club) in New York read: The TDC celebrates and amplifies the undeniable power of typography. We are a global community united by the shared belief that type drives culture and culture drives type Established in 1946, the TDC today curates a calendar of typographic intrigues designed to: build a community through public events and platforms, support the growth of students and early career professionals, and recognize excellence in type design across the world. On June 25, 2020, after a stinging on-line letter of resignation by Juan Villanueva, which accused the TDC Board of racism, the TDC Board decided to dismantle it altogether. At the time of the end of the TDC, the board consisted of
The text of the message of the TDC Board: This week, Juan Villanueva resigned as a board member of the TDC and posted his resignation letter online, calling the TDC a racist organization. First and foremost, we, the TDC board, apologize to Juan. His commitment and contribution to the TDC during his tenure was invaluable. His leaving is a huge loss, and his experience as a board member, which left him feeling, as he said in his statement, "steamrolled, suppressed, silenced and condescended to" is our failure. Juan's call to action coincides with a moment of change for the TDC. As is known by many, our organization faces serious financial challenges exacerbated by the ongoing COVID-19 emergency. Due to financial pressures that pre-date Juan's statement the Type Directors Club is no longer financially solvent. In light of this financial reality, and confirmed by Juan's experiences, the board has decided to dismantle the organization in its current state and end the lease on the Club's physical space. The board believes the club should be reconstituted in a new, more inclusive form, under different leadership in the future. The current board will do whatever is necessary to support that reconstitution. We thank our members and sponsors for all of their support over the years. We will be in touch in the near future with additional information regarding details of how precisely the current club, and all of its programs, will be reorganized to better serve our community.

Roger Black's verbatim post on Facebook on June 25, 2020, the day the TDC in New York shut down: In response to a charge two days ago by Juan Villanueva of Monotype that the Type Directors Club is a racist organization, the board is shutting it down. This cannot be what he wanted. Instead of making sure every type person can share in its 70-year tradition of knowledge and recognition, they closed it. I have been a member of several pathetic design association boards of directors, perhaps even this one (I forget), but never have I seen a board so completely missing its point. First, TDC is a membership association. The board's purpose is to serve the members. How can they shut down without even asking us what we think? Second, the board's responsibility is to insure the prosperity (never mind the survival) of the group. Did the board try to do *any* fundraising or, ahem, reach into their own pockets to make up the shortfall in finances? Non-profit board membership is not an honor, it's a duty. And this board, sadly, has failed. Whatever the merits of Mr. Villanueva's letter of resignation (which started with the group stonewalling his proposal to give free TDC memberships to BIPOC), it was the board's duty to face the accusations, to make honest answers, and to correct inequalities going forward. Instead they just quit. But I will tell you one thing. The long-time executive director, Carol Wahler, is as far from being a racist as anyone I have ever known. She loves every member, encourages all of us, reaches out all over the world to people of every kind to get them to join, to come to exhibits, or to enter the competitions. Farewell, Carol. | |
