\"Award-winning<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cSt\u00f6ssinger is a senior typeface designer at Frere-Jones Type in Brooklyn,\u201d said Michael Dickins, chair of the Visiting Artist Speaker Committee. \u201cShe also teaches type design at Yale School of Art.”<\/p>\n

“We are really excited for her visit as she will be conducting workshops with our graphic design students as well as a lecture on her creative practice and her career as an award-winning designer. The workshop is yet another opportunity for our students to get one-on-one experience with one of the country\u2019s top designers, all due to CECA and its continuous support,” Dickins stated.<\/p>\n

St\u00f6ssinger\u2019s lecture, which is free and open to the public, will be at 6:00pm Monday, October 28th, in the APSU Art + Design building\u2019s Room 120.<\/p>\n

Originally from Switzerland, St\u00f6ssinger studied multimedia design in Halle, Germany, and type design in Zurich and The Hague. She enjoys code and language, history and new ideas. She has spoken at many conferences and events, and her work has been awarded numerous prizes and exhibited internationally.<\/p>\n

Her published retail type designs include Empirica and Conductor (both designed with Tobias Frere-Jones), Nordvest and FF Ernestine. She co-designed custom typefaces (also with Frere-Jones) for clients including the Essex Market and Academy Sports + Outdoors.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs someone who makes typefaces, I see myself as a designer, a craftsperson and sometimes a scholar,\u201d St\u00f6ssinger said. \u201cI draw much inspiration from the centuries-old history of type design and other disciplines concerned with the shaping of letters; as well as from their multifaceted present.”<\/p>\n

[320left]”I learn, read and look voraciously. I cultivate an inclusive understanding of visual culture, taking inspiration from both the established and the vernacular, highbrow and lowbrow modes of communication, those familiar and those foreign to me,” stated St\u00f6ssinger.<\/p>\n

“And honoring the history of type to me does not mean blindly recreating established forms tied to specific historical contexts, technologies or tools. I enjoy recombining ideas and gently pushing the boundaries of convention \u2013 while remaining careful to honor our cultural agreement on what the shapes of the alphabet look like,\u201d said St\u00f6ssinger.<\/p>\n

St\u00f6ssinger is based in Brooklyn, New York. For more on St\u00f6ssinger and her work, visit www.ninastoessinger.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n
