The text block is fundamental to any typographic system, whether on the page or on screen. But which typeface should you use, and at what size? How do you determine line length and leading? And how do readability and hierarchy shape the reading experience?
This workshop examines both the finer details and broader principles of typography, from the letter to the page. We will begin by exploring the relationship between type size, leading, line length, ragging, and justification. Following an introduction to traditional methods of page construction, we will set continuous text within both single-column and multicolumn grid systems.
This two-day workshop is intended for anyone seeking a refresher in setting a balanced, well-structured text block. A basic knowledge of Adobe InDesign is required.
