Description
A fun and interactive game-based workshop for designers, about understanding fonts, getting familiar with their characteristics, and being more confident at choosing and combining different type styles in a variety of design contexts or practical applications. Everybody can participate and learn something, from junior graphic designers to the more experienced. We cover: type terminology, typefaces as systems and font pairings. We will look at the details before zooming out to look at the big picture. You will have a chance to refine your type sensitivity and become professional type mixologists.
