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 6-week type design programme that you’ve been waiting for starts on 4 June and ends 12 July 2024.
Our summer programme is in English and covers typeface design and calligraphy techniques, type history, and software practices. Every kind of design professional can learn about type design in a relatively short amount of time.
