Travel
The starting point of my journey is my village, from which I moved to Paris to study type design. The first part was to study calligraphy.
The second part was focused on creating typefaces. It was based on a source - an old school atlas of maps. In this part I struggled with two main things.
Creating a basic module for the typography I work with throughout the font. My source is rich in different letterforms because it is a handwritten typeface. It was a difficult and at the same time very important decision for my typography. In the end, this foundation became type n and went through a process of evolution from trace paper to digitization. The second important thing was the space creation workshop, where I worked by changing the angle in the font and changing to low contrast. This exercise which started with trace paper was the basis for my variable font.
The 3-week type design course starts on 5 April and ends 24 April 2027.
After 10 years in Paris, we reinvent our type design programme. We go from 6 weeks to 3 weeks, while maintaining the fundamentals that make TypeParis’ reputation.
The course will take place in Menorca, Spain for the first time. In 2027, we offer two levels, Foundation and Expert, which allows you to discover type design, or to gain expertise after an initial training.
