Open to all
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 (in English) 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.
➽ The 3-week type design programme that you’ve been waiting for starts on 5 April and ends 24 April 2027. Be ready for next year, deadline is set on 14 January 2027! To prepare yourself, you can jump on this FAQ, and consult the Books for type designers list on our ressource page.

Spring programme
Since 2015, we have welcomed a group of attendes who, from early June to mid-July, will discover type design in Paris, and produce their font project.
For 2027, we reinvent everything!
The new spring program is in English and covers typeface design and calligraphy techniques, type history, and software practices. We welcome both absolute beginners who can enroll at the Foundation level and typeface design enthusiasts who can register at the Expert level.
Foundation level: Dedicated to graphic designers who’ve never touched type design. You will learn in three weeks to create your contemporary digital typeface based on historical and calligraphic references. Submit your portfolio to be selected.
Expert Level: We propose to type designer a programme designed to enrich their know-how, strengthen their rigour and develop their professionalism in developing and produce complexe typeface families. Perfect after following a first type design course, and/or various lettering and font workshops. To be selected, submit your typeface project being created in addition to your portfolio.
This diversity is the strength of the programme. Come over and let’s start!
