TypoCircle joins us as a 2025 Community Partner
TypoCircle are proud to be a community partner for BDF this year. As a not-for-profit organisation run entirely by passionate volunteers, they bring together anyone with an interest in type, typography and creativity.

Supporting BDF this year aligns with our vision to broaden our support across the UK design community. Through hosting talks and facilitating workshops we aim to bring fresh inspiration to both students and industry professionals. Membership is open to anyone, and there are no entry tests or examinations.
We believe PLAY is an integral part of any creative process, at any stage of career and are excited to see it in action at the festival this year.


“TypoCircle exists to champion great typography and type design, the importance of creative education, and the value of craftsmanship and innovative ideas. My aim as Chair has been to ensure greater diversity and inclusion in our content, and investing in our incredible sector to do everything we can to encourage and develop bright, creative thinking that will benefit us all in the years to come.”
Louise Sloper, Chairwoman
