Notes on Icons and Design with Susan Kare
Susan Kare on Macintosh icons, the command key, and later symbol work.
Letterform Archive’s lecture series pairs Type West with public talks on lettering, type history, and graphic design. These picks favor recognizable speakers and search-friendly subjects—Susan Kare’s icons, Bauhaus with Ellen Lupton, Clearview’s highway saga, Indigenous script support—while spanning posters, film typography, and global writing systems. Watch them as a curated shelf, not a chronology.
