Welcome to the captivating world of type design with @glyphsapp at the Berlin Letters Festival 2024! This workshop is taught by Sol Matas @solmatas and it’s designed for designers and typography enthusiasts of all levels. No prior experience in type design is necessary, but a bit of Bézier vector drawing (e.g., in Adobe apps like Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop) can add to the fun.⁣

Schedule: • Sketching: Hand-sketch three letters, unleashing your artistic flair and setting the foundation for your unique typeface. • Basics of drawing: Master the art of drawing paths with precision. Learn the secrets of proportions and optical adjustments in type. • Digitizing and adding diacritical marks. • Spacing and kerning: Grasp the nuances of spacing and kerning, understanding the crucial differences between them. • Generating the font and testing it in Adobe apps.⁣

🎬 MÁLAGA TYPE V4 | AFTERMOVIE 1

🥹 Antes de salir del estado de resaca emocional que nos dejó el finde pasado, queríamos cerrar el ciclo de publicaciones de Málaga Type haciendo un pequeño ‘recap’ de todo lo vivido en esta cuarta edición.

👩🏻‍💻 Empezamos por nuestro ya clásico taller tipográfico de @glyphsapp. Y lo hacemos agradeciendo, porque nunca es suficiente, a @mekkablue y a @solmatas su buen hacer, profesionalidad y generosidad al compartir su valioso conocimiento con las personas amantes de las letras que allí se reunieron.

💚 Y al público del taller, por supuesto, por su interés y ganas de aprender junto a nosotros y agotar las plazas en un ‘santiamén’. Así da gusto.
