The World’s Best Typography, Typography 46 brings together the work of the winners of the latest TDC competition for typographic excellence from around the globe in communication design, lettering, and typeface design. For the past seventy years, the Type Directors Club has encouraged the design community to achieve excellence in typography through annual competitions. This high-quality volume showcases the award-winning selection while redefining the boundaries of visual communication.

Curated by the Type Directors Club, this year’s selection features outstanding projects from 33 countries—including Germany, Japan, Georgia, Israel, New Zealand, Peru, Thailand, Ukraine, the United States, and many more. The result is a compelling display of creativity and global diversity in contemporary typography.

In the Judges’ Choices section, each juror highlights their favorite entry, accompanied by personal commentary and insightful statements from the designers—offering readers a deeper look into the passion and process behind the work.

For the first time, the Young Ones TDC winners are also featured. These emerging talents provide an exciting glimpse into the future of typography, bringing bold ideas and fresh energy that inspire and challenge the status quo.

A carefully compiled index of the main typefaces used—complete with the names of their designers—makes this book not only a visual delight but also a valuable reference tool.

The World’s Best Typography, Typography 46 is more than just a design annual—it’s a tribute to the power of type, the craft of design, and the global community that continues to shape and advance both.
