Exhibition
​Farset Feirste - A New Typeface for Belfast
By John McMillan
2 - 24 May 2019

The exhibition traces how John McMillan, Emeritus Professor of Graphic Design at Ulster University and a Belfast resident, took the lettering and developed it into a functioning typeface then translated this into a corresponding gaelic typeform that would afford bilingual usage and a shared ownership by our citizens. 

Programmed as part of Cathedral Quarter Arts Festival.
