Overview
Key facts
- Letterforms can function in an extremely small or an enormously large version. Letterforms help typeset texts and “paint” pictures. In fact, typographic characters show a rich and varied spectrum of forms.
- In past centuries, letterforms were a part of major art movements; later, in the 19th century, they became more fashionable and stylish and in the 20th century more systematic! And what is new in this century? University of Applied Sciences and Arts Northwestern Switzerland's Type Design workshop will explain and show the very character of each letterform in its details.
Programme Structure
- We shall focus on a number of type signs with regard to a concept based on the visual rules of the three basic shapes in Latin type (circle, square, and triangle), the different stroke and curve directions and their terminals.
- The interaction of drawing by hand and further development on the computer allows for a differentiated and, perhaps, new awareness and appreciation of type forms.
