Introduction to Typefaces: IRL Workshop

We think that the design industry requires people to be more skilled than ever before and traditional educators are finding it hard to remain relevant. We want to address this by creating a collection of lessons that are led by guest lecturers who specialise in diverse disciplines. It is now time to provide opportunities for professionals to find the knowledge needed for a successful future.

Guest Lecturer
Eleni Beveratou is the creative director at Dalton Maag. She holds a BA and MA in communication design from the Vakalo Art & Design College, and an MA in Typeface Design from the University of Reading. During her time at Dalton Maag, Eleni has been involved in the design of typefaces for brands including Airbnb, Oracle, Aston Martin, and Wendy's. She has a particular interest in the science of reading, and its impact on type design. Her findings have been featured in Digital Fonts and Reading by World Scientific.

Lesson Outline
This workshop will include both practical and theoretical elements, across four parts addressing the key topics of expression and emotions, size, usage, and language.

1: The impact of emotions on type and basic letter drawing principles.

2: The relevance of size when designing type and the adaptations needed for each intended use.

3: How typographic expression can be translated to other writing systems to ensure consistency when communicating with global audiences.

4: How to discern if a typeface is suitable for large (display) or small (text) size use, and the design features required for different formats.
