The primary activity of the association is an annual conference, held in a different global city each year.
==History==
ATypI was founded in 1957 by [[Charles Peignot]] (from the French [[type foundry]] [[Deberny & Peignot]]). The members of the organisation come from the typographic community from all over the world and consist primarily of [[type designer]]s, representatives of type foundries, [[graphic design]]ers and typographers.
The organisation is run by a board elected by ATypI members. Each board member is elected by the ATypI membership for a period of three years and may serve up to two consecutive terms. The current president, elected by the board in 2023, is Thomas Phinney. Executive director since 2015 has been Tamye Riggs. Previous presidents have been Charles Peignot, [[John Dreyfus]], Tage Bolander, Martin Fehle, Ernst-Erich Marhencke, [[Mark Batty Publisher|Mark Batty]], [[Jean François Porchez]], Gerry Leonidas, Jose Scaglione, John D. Berry, [[Anna Carolina Laudon|Carolina Laudon]], and Crystian Cruz.

==Conference==
The ATypI conference is held internationally, each year at a different city, usually in September or October. It is organised with the help of local members and institutions, often universities or colleges. In 2020, 2021 and 2022, due to the [[COVID-19 pandemic]], ATypI conferences were held virtually.
