Course

From an idea by Giancarlo Iliprandi, the course trains communications designers in the design of typefaces and consists of lectures, project work and seminars.
In particular modules are planned on the theory of traditional and contemporary typography, FontLab software for the design of characters and methodologies for the control of the specific design process. In addition to these modules, there are those on the preparation and development of project work, but also communications seminars related to case studies of cultural and practical interest and meetings with experts and type designers.
The course is aimed at students and graduates in Communications Design disciplines, young designers and visual communications professionals.
