Tasting Type:

Tickbird&Rhino's No Book Book Club is what you get when you hold a book club but skip the book. Each evening we'll cover something new - it might be a talk, some art, a film or something found on-line. But whatever it is, it'll be interesting and accessible on the night. Then, like a book club, we'll lightly curate the conversation around it and get everyone talking.

 

Our Adventures in Perception will be kicked off by Sarah Hyndman from Type Tasting who will lead us through her research into the world of typography, exploring how the appearance of words transforms what we think, feel, taste and do.

​

Sarah will tell us how choosing a typeface can affect the way we experience our food - making it sweeter, or maybe more sour - and how it can be used to motivate us to exercise more and stress less. We'll talk about how different fonts evoke specific moods and what the kind of typography you like says about your personality. We'll also dig into the world of cross-modal correspondence where one of our senses maps to another deep within our brain.

​

And throughout it all we'll have the chance to test out Sarah's ideas in real time with simple demonstrations.

​

Since Tickbird&Rhino events are always about the conversation, following the presentation we'll have a lively discussion involving everyone in the room.

 

We'll be Upstairs @ The Devereux Pub from 7pm with the presentation starting shortly thereafter so make sure you arrive in good time to get a drink, order some food and grab a seat.

 

We look forward to seeing you there!
