Workshop: Type Design for Non-Type Designers

Thursday, August 29th
Full-Day Session

Go beyond choosing the same fonts from the type menu to creating your own typefaces and become your own type designer. This full-day workshop will introduce you to the basic skills necessary for the wild journey into the super fun world of type design.

Go through the basics of designing and generating a typeface with the font design software Glyphs (Mac only). In the morning session we will learn the basics of drawing a font, generate the font, and use it in Adobe InDesign or Adobe Illustrator.

In the afternoon, we will add additional letters to the font, fit and kern them, and add diacritics. At the end of the day, we will not have a finished font, but a respectable start and hopefully you’ll be infected with the type making bug.

Throughout the workshop, Glyphs lead developer Georg Seifert will be present and give live software support, and if you have a feature request, he will implement it right away.
