Workshop: 1 Count, 2 Count, at 3 Eencounter

We counted, 1 and 2 created 3. Out of 3 we encountered 1, 1 bar. From 1 bar we encountered 3 curves, combined them and shaped them into 2 counts. On a 3 to 1 scale, scaled down and up. 1 count, 2 bar, 3 curve, 3,2,1, let’s go. 🏃🏃🏃

Here we go. An introductory workshop in type design, come join us for a 2 day course of typographical exploration, and opening up your creative world to the wonders of type design. In this course we will make our own letter shapes that we, ourselves, and us will combine into a typeface. We will introduce Glyphs 3 (and FontForge), a type design program, and teach how to quickly design and make our very own typefaces to communicate and make new typographical wonders.
