Type Directors Club Logo

The Type Directors Club (TDC) is an international association promoting typography in all its forms. It emerged from an informal meeting of New York agency typographers in 1946 and is based in New York City .

The German Liaison Committee of the Type Directors Club of New York , based in Mainz , has been in existence since 1983. There are further committees in France , Japan , Great Britain , Mexico , Vietnam and Switzerland .

In addition to organizing annual typography competitions, the Type Directors Club awards the Type Directors Club Medal at irregular intervals . It honors people and institutions who have made an extraordinary contribution to the development of typography.

The Yearbook of the Type Directors Club honors the best work and is an additional award alongside the Type Directors Club Medal. It presents typographic works, font designs and, in recent years, purely typographic applications in space and in interface design.
