I’m a big fan of the type folks at Adobe (nothing against the non-type folks, I just don’t know many of them, I’m sure they’re plenty nice as well), and I’ve been quite vocal about it.
One of the reasons that I’ve been so impressed with them lately is the... Continue Reading.
We always love returning to Fluevog and it was a pleasure to offer one of our newest offerings, parallel pen with Xandra Zamora. We learned blackletter in the morning and then sans-serif casual capitals in the afternoon – but that wasn’t the exciting part . . . this was the... Continue Reading.

We had two campers from the previous Friday workshop rejoin us as students, and in a great example of how Type Camp... Continue Reading.
Due to so much interest in our Type Drawing and Selection class with Stephen & Alex, we created two additional Saturday classes at the incredible Letterform Archive in Potrero Hill. To be able to discuss all aspects of typography while surrounded by centuries (and millenia!) of typographic... Continue Reading.
