11.00 Joseph Churchward
New Zealand type designer Joseph Churchward was born and raised in
Samoa. He moved to New Zealand at age 13, and attended Wellington
Technical College, where he concentrated on art and lettering, then
worked as a commercial artist at Charles Haines Advertising for 12 years
before setting up Churchward International Typefaces in 1969.
His company was the first company in New Zealand to publish original
photo-lettering.
Now retired, he continues to create unique alphabets and has over 600 original fonts to his name.
An exhibition of his work,
Letter Man: Joseph Churchward's World Of Type, runs at Te Papa until 16
February, and he is a guest at the TypeShed11 event in Wellington from
11-15 February.
A biography of Joseph Churchward by David Bennewith will
be published later this month; the author will launch the book at the TypeShed11 event.
