Experimental Typography (Florence)

3 units

Spanning the spectrum between informational and poetic, type design and typography work is a medium unto itself, as one might view painting and sculpture. In this course, we will engage closely, experimentally, and rigorously with typography as medium. This course is a space for experimentation, research, and invention. Building on the fundamentals of typography, coursework will set varied scenarios for rigorous and exploration of typography as form, emphasizing generative processes. Projects will engage with materality, format, scale, motion, hybridity, legibility, and expression.
