Presentation
Short Course in Digital Typography: creating solid typographic systems
The Course in Digital Typography will show you the most important concepts of typographic production within font info so that, from various typographic styles, you can create a solid typographic system.
The rapid advance of new technologies and, above all, the boom in the use of specialized programs for graphic and editorial design have revolutionized the world of typography, which has meant that, on the one hand, many existing fonts have had to be redesigned and, on the other, the creation of new typographies has been facilitated.
However, in order to establish an optimal digital typographic system, it is essential to have a number of basic fundamentals, as well as specific knowledge of interpolation and variable fonts. Our course focused on digital typography design will enable you to develop the knowledge and tools necessary to create a solid typographic system.
