THE WORKSHOP
Sense & Sensibility is a workshop designed to guide you on a fascinating journey between the geometric rigour of shapes and the warm naturalness of handwritten writing, showing how even seemingly simple letterforms can reveal surprising emotional nuances.
THE DETAILS*
By examining some classics of sans serif design, the workshop will equip participants with the tools to distinguish between geometric and humanist sans, a subtle yet essential difference for using typefaces consciously and understanding their impact not only on aesthetics but also on emotional perception.
The workshop experience condenses over twenty years of research by the Zetafonts design team and will feature a series of case studies and practical examples on how to use typography more effectively to inform, communicate, and shape visual identity, from publishing to logo design.

This aren’t pre-recorded courses. They’re live online workshops with professional instructors and creatives where you can ask questions, receive feedback, get personal guidance, and interact with peers in real time.
