Typographic Intelligence.
Typography is no longer just a question of visual identity. It is becoming a form of brand infrastructure. As AI accelerates the production of content, campaigns, interfaces and experiences, brands will need more than engaging type. They will need typographic systems that can scale, adapt, govern and express meaning with precision.
In this talk, Phil Garnham and Anna Damoli explore the emerging idea of Typographic Intelligence: the intersection of creativity, technology, governance and human judgement. From AI-assisted design to licensing, ownership, brand voice and operational control, the session asks what happens when type moves from static asset to intelligent brand behaviour.
