Course Nº III · Design
How a paragraph argues with itself — and how to set type that knows what it wants.
Type is the most common form of design and the least often examined. We treat it as a rhetorical practice: a way of taking a position about what a sentence deserves. Ten lessons, each anchored to a single typeface and a single problem.
Bring a printer if you have one. Most of the work happens at one-to-one scale, on paper.
