Indigenous Type Perspectives with Leo Vicenti
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This is the first episode in a 3-part guest lecture series in GCM 230 Typography, speaking with design typography pros from across North America!
This episode features type designer and educator at Emily Carr University of Art + Design in Vancouver, Leo Vicenti.
In this conversation, you’ll hear how Leo believes typography can support Indigenous language and culture, the ways in which typography isn’t always necessary, Indigenization of digital spaces, and why fixed systems don’t necessarily work (Unicode, for example).
This episode was recorded as part of a guest lecture series in GCM 230 - Typography in fall 2025 at The Creative School at Toronto Metropolitan University.
I'm all about interesting projects with interesting people!
