TYPE DESIGN FOR NON-TYPE DESIGNERS

22.10–23.10

Workshop curated by Matteo Bologna e Stefano Pellone
10:00–18:00 Paper&People Have you ever wanted to design your own typeface, but didn't know where to start? This intensive weekend workshop is a great opportunity to start designing typefaces. Go beyond choosing the usual fonts from the font menu and create your own! In this two-day course you will learn the basics of designing and generating a variable font with the type design software Glyphs (only for Mac). In the Thursday session we will focus on the basics of creating a font. We'll look at how to design a simple set of uppercase letters, how to effectively manage letter spacing, how to integrate diacritics, and how to use punctuation. Friday we will create a bold version of the same typeface, develop a variable font, and animate it for use in a web browser or desktop application. →Subscribe
