GRANSHAN is the pre-eminent channel for identifying outstanding typefaces for global audiences, and a reference point for innovation in multiscript design. Both online and as physical exhibitions in many places around the world.
Discover the exceptional winners of the GRANSHAN competitions. Our GRAND EXHIBITION is our continuously growing online exhibition showcasing the best of global typography and celebrating innovative multiscript designs catering to a diverse linguistic audience. Explore a world of creativity and craftsmanship, where each typeface tells a unique story and pushes the boundaries of design. As a first step on our new website: The results of the 13th GRANSHAN Type Design Competition.
In exhibiting the competition winners’ typefaces around the world, the idea of GRANSHAN spreads widely. Here are a few examples – in the near future we will compile an overview of all GRANSHAN Exhibitions and publish it here.
During the Signs of the Times Conference and Ceremony in Munich, the winners of the 12th Competition were proudly displayed. This exhibition highlighted the creativity and craftsmanship of remarkable typefaces that push the boundaries of design.
The 2016 award-winning typefaces made their debut at the historic symposion in Raabs/Thaya, Austria, from August 24-27, 2017. This exhibition marked the first occasion to see these celebrated works in person.
In Montreal, Canada, the 2016 winners' typefaces were featured at the prestigious AtypI conference from September 12-16, 2017. This event showcased cutting-edge designs that are shaping the future of typography.
The journey concluded in Yerevan, Armenia, during the GRANSHAN conference from October 2-8, 2017. Posters showcasing the award-winning typefaces were displayed, celebrating the vibrant community of designers who bring these scripts to life.
The following is the very beginning of a complete list of all the exhibition venues where the various GRANSHAN exhibitions have been shown.
