Elaine Guidero

As a graduate student in geography at the Pennsylvania State University, Elaine Guidero brings together cartography and typography through the lenses of style, modernity, and national identity. Her dissertation, still in its early stages, will concern timelessness and legibility in cartographic typography, with an emphasis on national mapping. Her other academic interests include cartographic design, the sociocultural aspects of authoritarian states, and geographies of consumption. She earned an M.S. in geography from Penn State, with a thesis on spatial cognition, which followed a B.A. in French literature from Cornell University.

At ATypI 2013 Amsterdam Elaine Guidero will be speaking at:
