GRANSHAN

Exhibitions

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.

GRAND EXHIBITION

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.
