During this type design workshop, you’ll set up interpolation axes, create master shapes, and blend typographic ingredients (squareness, collapse, slant) to generate new letterforms. You'll also learn to add translation contrast and tilt controls, and expand the system with weight axes. Use stroke styles for faster prototyping and consistent font-wide changes.
The workshop runs in two sessions. Session one covers the parametric framework: creating custom skeleton shapes, mixing them, and exploring new forms through extrapolation. Session two integrates strokes and outlines: setting up stroke styles, creating contrast tilt and weight modifiers, and wrapping up.
This workshop is suitable for students building technical skills, graphic designers creating custom fonts, and type designers seeking fresh prototyping approaches.
You’ll receive a TypeJockey starter file with base letterforms, a pre-configured stroke styles library, a step-by-step reference guide, and a free LTTR/INK Master license for two months.
