If you’re a designer you probably use type all the time.  
Maybe you’ve wondered how typefaces are  
made or you’ve had an idea for your own typeface.  
By learning the basics of designing type, you  
will better understand letterforms and how to put them to work in your designs.  
Through this class, you will be equipped with the skills to design your own typefaces and  
wordmarks.  
The class will feature a mix of hands on experience and learning the tools and theories  
behind designing type.  
Your weekly homework will focus on expanding on the in class exercises in a  
productive way.

About our workshops:  
Learning stuff is great, especially when you’re not in school anymore and maybe you haven’t taken a  
class in a while.  
As part of our ongoing focus on providing tools for designers, XXXI is piloting a  
workshop program for and led by members of the design community.  
We set our classes up with ourselves in mind: affordable, small in person group environment, and  
taught by designers.  
Our hope is to circulate the resources we can provide to each other, at an  
affordable price and in a setting that’s friendly and collaborative.  
Our instructors are professionals from our community (not employees) and they do this because they  
want to. Your fees pay for their time.  
Did you know that a lot of employers will pay for you to take classes?  
We’ll give you a diploma at  
the end to prove it.  
Do you have a tool you’d like to share with the community?
