You can use your own handwriting, or draw from the world of sans-serif, serif, or even monospace typography. Now is your chance to create something that’s totally yours, that you can use in projects and on documents as long as you’d like. This class is taught by multidisciplinary graphic designer and art director, Sarah Lawrence.

• Identify the difference between handwritten text and a handwritten-looking typeface

• Take about 20 minutes to design your simple starter typeface

• Actually digitize it in the same session!
