On 17, 18 & 19 June 2010 the Department of Design & Multimedia of the University of Nicosia will be hosting the 4th International Conference on Typography and Visual Communication (ICTVC) with the general theme “Lending Grace to Language”.

After three important and successful international meetings (2002, 2004, 2007 / http://www.ictvc.org/) ICTVC moves to Cyprus.  Our new home sits at the crossroads of three continents, a location of historical significance that far outweighs its small size.  The multicultural character of the island makes Cyprus a perfect location for a conference that explores the world of typographic design and visual language.
