The “About” section of the Palace of Typographic Masonry website reads as follows: “The Palace of Typographic Masonry was established as a foundation on May 15, 2018. The foundation pursues the following objectives:

1. Provide a physical and/or virtual environment for the creation of graphic design and a platform for the publication and presentation of associated work-graphic or otherwise;

2. Build a reference framework for graphic design;

3. Familiarize a diverse audience with a varied and relevant graphic design landscape;

4. Draw attention to graphic design as a unique discipline and profession;

5. Promote the recognition of individuals who have proven important to graphie design as a profession and/or the development of the field.”

Over the course of four epistolary exchanges, Thierry Chancogne and Richard Niessen have a palatial discussion of the content, issues, and the principles of classification of this palace of “the splendor and variety of graphic languages,” a place dedicated to the promotion, dissemination, and support of an open and adventurous approach to our discipline of graphism, graphic design, and typography.
