Learn type design through structured assignments and hands-on practice. Build a portfolio of functional typefaces with feedback from working designers.
See Workshop Structure
Assignments unlock weekly. Complete them when you have time. Most participants finish exercises during evenings or weekends without disrupting work commitments.
Instructors currently design typefaces for commercial projects. They review your work with specific technical feedback based on real production requirements.
Exercises require Glyphs or FontLab. You'll learn the actual tools type foundries use, not simplified alternatives or outdated programs.
Participants join from cities across the country. All materials stream reliably on standard broadband connections. No need to relocate or commute to physical classes.
Recordings stay available if you miss a live session. Discussion forums connect you with other learners regardless of time zone differences.
Each exercise builds on previous skills. Start with basic letterforms, progress through full character sets, finish with spacing and kerning. Clear requirements for each submission.
Submit work through the platform. Receive annotated critiques within 48 hours. Ask follow-up questions in dedicated review threads.
Download technical guides, specimen examples, and historical context materials. Resources remain available after workshop completion for future reference.
Share work-in-progress with cohort members. Get peer perspectives alongside instructor feedback. See how others solve similar design challenges.
Learn stroke construction and basic proportions. Complete simple letterform exercises with specific dimension requirements.
Expand your typeface to full alphabet. Maintain consistency across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals through systematic comparison.
Apply spacing and kerning methods. Test readability in different sizes. Adjust based on how letters interact in actual words.
Export working font files. Generate proper hinting and OpenType features. Prepare portfolio-ready specimens demonstrating usage contexts.
Next cohort begins soon. Limited to 18 participants for manageable feedback cycles. Review full curriculum and instructor backgrounds.
