The online course begins with an understanding of type
genres, and helps participants conceptualise typefaces and plan typeface families. It introduces writing, sculpting, and synthetic
methodologies for style consistency.
Systematic development across styles
and optical sizes is supported with workflow examples and test documents. Beginning participants will develop with a clear
understanding of typeface design spaces, and develop skills for translating their sketches into workable fonts that can be
used to typeset test documents. Experienced participants will be able to refine their designs, understand how to position
typefaces for specific markets, and explore originality and identity within realistic briefs. The material used in the course
can be documented, shared, and re-used.
