The exhibits include original letter-drawings and related material that reveal design decisions in conjunction with technical considerations that played a significant role in shaping the means of visual communication in non-Latin writing-systems up to the present day. Concurrent exhibitions include "Type Directors Club exhibition" held at School of Design Gallery and "Letter.2 type design competition exhibition" held at Podium of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University.

The exhibition is co-curated by Dr. Fiona Ross and Mr. Vaibhav Singh, who will give guided talks about the provenance of the materials exhibited, the holdings of the Non-Latin Type Collection and the use of primary surces for research and typographic practice today.
