Type and typography

The type and typography course focuses on the intensive examination of writing in all its applied forms. It is dedicated to the advanced and joyful exploration of all aspects of typographic expression as well as theory, methodology and practice. Further educational goals aim at the training of conceptual, aesthetic and technical type skills, the awareness for typographic details, the training of artistic judgement and high personal motivation to independently approach typographic design problems. The main focus of the type design course is the conception and design of new fonts for a wide range of uses.

Guiding keywords for the course in type and typography: input and output, theory and practice, technical skills and critical thinking, foundation and specialisation. Through lectures and comprehensive surveys students are informed about the rules of type and typography and the history and current state of the alphabetic culture. The showcase of various typographic work samples (show and tell) serves as both visual input and inspiration for further creative work.
