Analogic type design
Types, paper and scissors! In this workshop we will work with a purely analogous method to design a typeface. It will not only be about sketching on paper, but also addressing most of the conceptual, technical and aesthetic aspects before going digital.
From a free and organic perspective, we will push the expressiveness and letterform design to the limit, always taking into account a functional typographic system.
Requirements
- Sharpies (or anything that can fill shapes quickly)
- Pencil, eraser
- Clear tape
- White-out
- Scissors
- Rulers
- Canson marker paper
