Letterforms
Typographics I - VCUIn this class, my students learned typography through a hands-on approach. Letterforms were drawn, constructed, and inked by hand, using ruling pen, compass, and other drafting tools. Typical assignments included the following topics: Collage on the history of type (type families) - Optical aspects of the letterform - Structure and weight - Counterform - Logo (personal monogram).
