Workshop: Type Design for Non-Type Designers
Sunday and Monday, 19 and 20 June, 2022
10:00–18:00
Get a fun crash course in designing type — in person or from your couch —, with Matteo Bologna (Mucca Design) and Rainer Scheichelbauer (Glyphs). Join online or in person at The Cooper Union. In this two-day ‘blended’ class, you will learn the basics of designing and generating a variable font with the font-design software Glyphs (Mac only). Go beyond choosing the same typefaces from the type menu to creating your own.
In the Sunday session, we will learn the basics of drawing a font, generate the font, and use it in an Adobe app or a web browser. In the afternoon, we will add additional letters to the font, learning how to space them, add diacritics and punctuation.
On Monday, we add a wide version of the same typeface, create a variable font—and make it animate in a web browser. At the end of the class, you will not have a finished font, but a respectable start and a deep understanding about how fonts are made. And maybe you’ll become a type design addict. You have been warned.
