26 Exchanges - We Made This

26 Exchanges

More typographic goodness during the London Design Festival! The folks at writers' group 26 have just dropped us a line to let us know that they're putting on a show called 26 Exchanges during the festival.

The exhibition is an interactive typographic installation showcasing the results of the Free the Word! project earlier in the year. It promises to be an interesting show, designed by Harry Pearce from Pentagram and Simon Sankarraya at Allofus, and featuring an accompanying book designed by David Carroll & Co.

The show runs from 9.30 - 5.30, Monday 21 to Friday 25 September, at the Royal Academy of Engineering, 3 Carlton House Terrace (behind the ICA).
