MEET YOUR HOST
 

Hey! I’m Dominique, a design educator, Typism founder, and online business builder passionate about celebrating lettering artists worldwide.

I believe that we are all connected by our shared love of letterforms.

I created this skills summit to bring together some of the best lettering artists in the world to help you take the next steps in your lettering journey.

The Details

When

—

The Typism Skills Summit will run from the 16th to the 18th of April 2025 (evenings in the USA/Europe), and there will be a variety of presentations to choose from each day.

Australia, Pacifica, and New Zealand put the mornings of the 17th to the 19th of April in your diary.

Where

—

You can tune into the summit from the comfort of your couch and yoga pants. You can also head to a coffee shop with headphones or watch it on the studio iMac. It’s up to you because it’s all online!

Presentations

—

Each presentation is under 20 minutes. Nice and short so you can get the information you need and take action quickly! The presentations will only be available for a limited time to encourage you to take action now.

PARTY IT UP

—

As well as the talks, you’ll also have access to a Facebook group where we’ll be watching the summit together. You can also hang with the speakers and get your questions answered.

PAYING IT FORWARD

—

The Typism Community is united by our shared love of letterforms and we think literacy is a right, not a privilege. 10% of all bundle sales will go to support Indigenous literacy through our charity partner, The Australian Literacy and Numeracy Foundation (ALNF)—a national charity assisting people in our most marginalised communities to gain vital language, literacy and communication skills.

VIP UPGRADE

—

After registering for your free ticket, you can also upgrade to gain access to the extended access pass. That means you'll receive ongoing access to presentations and worksheets after they expire and a $300+ bundle of bonuses from our speakers for a fraction of that price.

The early-bird pricing goes away once the summit starts. You won't want to miss it!
