Description:

This course is aimed at students interested in a more thorough understanding of how typefaces are designed, and the how the interplay of positive and negative space ripples through the texture of the word, paragraph, and page. Good for students interested in illustration, sketching, analog tools, two dimensional design, and books. Great for students who were paging through dafont.com as a teenager, have purchased typefaces as adults, and obsessively and thoughtfully kern their logos and headlines.
