LIGATURE XII: FOUNDATIONS

JANUARY 21- April 2, 2022

WILLIS SMITH CONSTRUCTION INC. GALLERY in the LARRY R. THOMPSON ACADEMIC CENTER

Celebrating its 12th year, Ringling Type Club presents Ligature XII: Foundations - a juried exhibition showcasing the typographic excellence of the Ringling College student body. This exhibition features works from every major in various categories such as Drop Cap, Type in Motion, Hand Lettering, and Books & Publication.

Ligature XII: Foundations honors the founding of Type Club and gives thanks to the years of support granted to the exhibition’s pursuit of sharing beautiful design and typography with the community. Architectural themes have been a guiding muse for the look of past Ligature shows, and the tradition is continued this year with a twist. Instead of a specific style of architecture, this show is derived from concepts of structure and planning - for without a solid foundation, structures cannot be built, and progress cannot be made. Through this theme, the members of the Ringling Type Club and Ligature XII's participants express their thanks for the foundation built many years ago in order for the Ligature Exhibition to be where it is today. This year’s exhibition was produced by the Ringling Type Club and directed by Adam Myerscough, Arthur Morris, and Sean Clancy.
