Learn the full process of type design; from sketching letterforms to refining and digitizing them with professional tools. Master optical adjustments, alignment, and weight balance, then build a complete, usable typeface. Develop an expert eye through guided critique and iteration to design fonts with precision and purpose no matter your skill level.
Course Materials Each lesson is structured with written demonstrations, visual references, and guided exercises you can follow at your own rhythm. This course is designed as an index to reference and return to, a manual for mastering type design.
