Practica Program

Apply until July 18th, 2021 and join the Practica Program — Typeface Design Course in fall 2021 and dig deeper into typeface design: Spend 14 weeks immersed in the world of type design with industry professionals by your side. Students begin the course ready to work on a typeface they’ve begun outside of the program. Through a series of lectures and mini-workshops, they’ll learn how to expand their typeface through the process of interpolation. They’ll also visit some of the finer points of the craft, like refining their drawing and spacing skills, while also discussing the macro issues, like what makes a typeface successful or how it responds to the culture it springs from.

Lead Instructors: Nicole Dotin, Sol Matas
Speaking voices: Maria Doreuli, James Edmondson, Krista Radoeva, Aleksandra Samuļenkova, Kristyan Sarkis, and Sara Soskolne

All sessions will be held (in Englisch) live via Zoom. For those who cannot attend in real time, the talks will be recorded. The feedback sessions, on the other hand, must be attended live to fully benefit from them. This gives you some flexibility to fit the program into your own schedule, but also the opportunity to interact with other students. Finally, course instructors are available to meet one-on-one with students outside of class. There are more than fifty-five course hours for the entire program, not including office hours
