Description
Wish you were here?
This is a sugar rush of childhood summer nostalgia, lolly wrappers, postcards and fairground signs.
Take a memory-trip through nostalgic packaging typography served up with scent, sound and taste.
£5/£10, interactive event & Q&A (Zoom)
with multisensory activities
Exploring the language of nostalgia
Why do the fonts on wrappers from your childhood trigger a multisensory memory rush?
The typographic language of nostalgia can transport you to the comfort and safety of the past, remind you of mischievous adventures, or that sense of wonder when you discovered something new.
Revisit the packaging of childhood and hear about the stories behind the fonts. These will be brought to life with scent, sound and taste.

Recent Zoom guests have said “The event is genius”, “you are such an amazing storyteller!” and “That was fun. Whoever woulda’ thought that I could be eating granola in Portland Oregon while visiting London?”
Hello, I'm Sarah. I'm the author of a number of books including 'Why Fonts Matter' and 'How to Draw Type and Influence People'. I'm a TEDx speaker, a regular guest on BBC Radio 4 and I sometimes appear on TV on shows like Channel 4's Sunday Brunch.
I make typography exciting for everybody, not just experts. Have you ever wondered whether you judge a shop or pub by its sign? Or why you judge a product by its packaging? Over the last seven years, I've welcomed thousands of people to my events and workshops. Now I'm excited that I can bring these experiences directly to you wherever you are in the world.
