Type Design A

Course open to BFA4 Graphic Design students only
and by Permission of Instructor only.

The objective of this class is to give students a
general understanding of letterforms, typeface
design and how to draw with Bezier technology.
First semester the basics of letterform
construction, type terminology, and software are
learned as the student develops a functional
typeface. In the second semester the student
creates an original typeface design and produces
a full character set with spacing and kerning as
well as a system of typographic ornaments. The
final font is demonstrated in a type specimen.
