'''TypeCon''' is the annual grassroots, typography-focused convention run by the non-profit [[Society of Typographic Aficionados]]. The content of TypeCon conferences focuses on — but is not limited to — the areas of [[typography]], [[type design]], [[printing]], [[letterpress]], [[calligraphy]], the [[book illustration|book arts]], [[publishing]], design education, and type-related technologies including [[webfonts]].

Since the inaugural conference in 1998, TypeCon has explored type for the screen, the [[history of printing]], [[Dutch design]], type in motion, [[Arabic calligraphy]], non-Latin scripts, the [[American Arts and Crafts movement]], experimental typography, type design technologies, webfonts, and much more. Special events include the Type & Design Education Forum, hands-on workshops, and gallery exhibitions of international type and design.

The convention is held in a different North American host city each year.
