Bending the Rules of Letterforms and Contemporary Type Design
In this workshop, we will explore and bend the rules of type design by creating a full alphabet - from the initial sketching phase to a complete set of inventive, playful letterforms. Starting from the predefined structure of a pixel font, you will learn how to push, stretch and reinterpret its building blocks to form new shapes and discover unexpected typographic possibilities.
What you’ll need:
Bring some grid paper or a notebook for sketching (A4 or similar), plus drawing tools such as rulers, pencils, erasers and a few pens (preferably black) of different sizes and tips. Please install Fontra before the workshop through the link below.
