About the Author

Sarah Hyndman is a public speaker, educator and founder of Type Tasting, a platform that changes the way audiences think and talk about typography. She is also a graphic designer who explores multisensory typography.



Hyndman's research into typefaces as cultural codes has been co-published with Professor Charles Spence of the Universityof Oxford. She quantifies how audiences respond to typefaces through live experiments, surveys and interviews. Her research is self-initiated, self-funded and her goal is to show how typography can create positive change in the world.

Interviews

"...typefaces communicate nonverbal information just like clothes, your tone of voice or the soundtrack in a movie."
