The Persistence of Type (vol. III) was a distributed newspaper and ongoing collaborative project by Panel’s Catriona Duffy and Lucy McEachan, artist Fiona Jardine and graphic designers Maeve Redmond and Sophie Dyer. In two previous volumes, it explored exchanges between graphic design, visual art, fiction and performance.

The third volume was widely distributed across the city during Glasgow International, providing a platform for critical and creative writing around design within the context of the festival. It worked with variously connecting practitioners across disciplines, all with a direct affiliation to Glasgow.

The Persistence of Type (vol. III) was animated by a programme of events that extend the ideas and propositions presented within the newspaper.
