CfP Visible Language Special Issue: Typographic Landscapes

We invite submissions for a special issue of Visible Language titled ‘Typographic Landscapes: Migrating types – typographic meaning-making across boundaries’ connecting scholarship in typography, graphic communication, and sociolinguistics to investigate typographic activities as social practices in public spaces.

We welcome contributions that bring these disciplinary perspectives into fruitful dialogue and focus on typographic meaning-making across cultural, geographical, and temporal boundaries – including themes of migration, identity, belonging, place-making, and cultural hegemony.

This issue will be of interest to academics, practitioners, and students working with type, text, and language in built, urban, rural, or virtual environments.

Deadline for submissions: Wednesday, 2 September 2026
Expected date of publication: Early 2027
