The Type Directors Club held a one-day conference called Type Drives Culture, to look at the various ways that typography influences and reflects the world around us. I was asked to discuss my ongoing investigation into the typographic landscape of gay porn publishing. In the talk, I refer a few times to Steven Heller‘s excellent talk that preceded mine, “Raw Typography: Rebel or Rebel“, which did a great job of discussing some related themes about underground publishing and the democratization of type.
