The Society of Typographic Aficionados (SOTA) is organizing protoType, a competition and exhibition of the most innovative ideas in type design. The aims is to promote not only innovative fonts but essentially the speculative ideas behind them, in order to amplify their relevance to future design efforts, enriching the cultural landscape. The typefaces selected for inclusion in protoType will be exhibited during TypeCon 2016 — scheduled for 24-28 August 2016 in Seattle — and have specimens published online, with the further possibility of being part of a traveling exhibition. In addition TypeCon will publish an explanatory video of one overall winner chosen by the jury.
