They say:

“I can't think of a better way to learn. On a tiny Gulf island in the sun, far from work and traffic: drawing, learning about type, minutely scrutinizing letterforms; where they start, how they move, and creating new ones. Type Camp is fundamentally different from any class. It is a learning vacation, so instead of going home each day and dividing your focus, you just think about type. For a week. And sleep in, hike, swim, lie in the sun, and eat well. For a week. Prepare to have your perspectives delightfully altered.”

“I had such a great time. It was amazing to be around people who were interested in talking type and not glaze over at the mention of kerning and tracking. I really feel like I am on the right path now and that was 100% because of Type Camp. It was such a unique experience and I think anyone interested in type should attend and see where it takes them, they may be surprised.”
