SUMMARY:Introduction to Modern Type Design
DESCRIPTION:with Kel Troughton \n  \nDuring this 10-week online workshop\, which meets on Wednesday evenings from January 31–April 10 (no class on February 21)\, you will create your own original typefaces as you gain an understanding of the methodologies and software used to produce high-quality digital type. \nThe primary goal of this workshop is to show you how to systematically think about type and help you successfully make a font. We will focus on techniques and best practices for designing and spacing type\, introducing you to the conceptual foundations of type design\, including proofing and testing work. You will work in the Glyphs App throughout the week and upload homework before each meeting for review. Throughout the workshop you will learn various lessons about type\, history\, sketching\, and get weekly feedback on your type projects. \nThis workshop is suitable for designers just starting to think about type and for designers with some type design experience\, hoping to hone their skills and processes. Some experience with drawing Bézier curves (in Adobe Illustrator\, for instance) and with typography is recommended but not required. This is a great course for anyone interested in applying for a spot in Type West’s Postgraduate Certificate Program in Type Design. \nA free temporary license for Glyphs App will be made available to all participants. The class is capped at fifteen students to allow for one-on-one instruction.

SUMMARY:Bibliophiles Beware: The Situationist International and the Art & Politics of Cultural Hijacking
DESCRIPTION:Active between 1957 and 1972\, The Situationist International (S.I.) was a revolutionary alliance of artists\, intellectuals\, architects and political theorists that is hailed as the “last avant-garde” of the 20th century. One of the organization’s core concepts is that of détournement\, which can be understood as the subversion of established cultural commodities as a means of propaganda. This exhibition presents numerous examples of this innovative practice\, from artist books to comic strips\, and from leaflets to maps. In doing so\, it also attempts to retrace the history of a movement that maintained an ambiguous relationship with their own material productions. \nExhibition opening and remarks by Mehdi El Hajoui\, private collector.

SUMMARY:Make Icons Editable\, Animated\, and Colorful with Font Technologies
DESCRIPTION:with Wenting Zhang\nDiscover new ways to make icons customizable\, animate-able\, colorful\, and recolor-able by utilizing variable font and color font technology. \nWith the latest developments in variable and color fonts\, typography and iconography are becoming enriched! Join us for a talk with Wenting Zhang\, co-founder and CEO of Typogram\, who will share new ways to utilize variable font and color font technology for icons — to make icons customizable\, animate-able\, colorful\, and recolor-able: \nCustomizable\nVariable font tech can be seen as a bezier curve editing capability. With that\, icons can enjoy controlled editing capacity without exposing the hard-to-manipulate bezier curves and control points. \nAnimatable\nThe variable font axis can be seen as an animation timeline. With that\, icons as glyphs can go through a series of transformations and appear animated. \nColorful and Recolor-able\nArguably color font technology is better suited for icon font than for text. Icon font used to be quite limited for the lack of support for popular dual-tone icons\, which is being changed with color fonts. Not only can icon fonts be colorful\, but it also brings an easy way to recolor them to fit the brand. \nLetterform Lectures are a public aspect of the Type West postgraduate program. The series is co-presented by the San Francisco Public Library\, where events are free and open to all. \n

SUMMARY:Kirkpatrick Speaker Series: Nicholson Baker
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for an enriching conversation on the cultural weight of paper as Arion welcomes author Nicholson Baker as the first Kirkpatrick Speaker of 2024. \nCelebrated novelist and culture critic Nicholson Baker will deliver a spirited talk titled “The Weight of Paper” exploring the cultural and physical gravity of the paper book in a digital century. Baker’s wide-ranging discussion will investigate the evolving science of reading on paper vs. pixels\, the challenge of maintaining manuscript collections\, and history’s need for documentation that does not rely on electricity. The talk will take inspiration from Baker’s upcoming book Finding a Likeness: How I Got Somewhat Better at Art to celebrate how both writing and drawing are ways of embracing the three-dimensional world. \nDoors open at 5:30 p.m.\, with drinks and light bites to follow. \nThe Kirkpatrick Speaker Series is made possible by the generous support of Taylor Kirkpatrick. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSource:: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-weight-of-paper-a-conversation-with-nicholson-baker-tickets-789749250267?aff=oddtdtcreator

SUMMARY:Salon Series 47: The Complete Commercial Artist: Making Modern Design in Japan\, 1928–1930
DESCRIPTION:with Gennifer Weisenfeld\nJoin us for a conversation with the author of our latest book\, an exploration of modernist commercial design in Japan. \nToward the end of the 1920s\, Japanese designers pursued a radical new vision for their profession. Engaging modernist and avant-garde trends from abroad\, refashioning local graphic and calligraphic forms\, and using the latest tools and techniques\, they poured fresh colors and expressive forms into all facets of consumer life\, from streetscapes to the printed page. The Complete Commercial\, a 24-volume design compendium published by the country’s leading designers\, captured the spirit of the age with thousands of playful and inventive designs. \nIn conversation with Letterform Archive Books editor Chris Westcott\, art historian Gennifer Weisenfeld discusses her new book on this remarkable document of design history\, The Complete Commercial Artist: Making Modern Design in Japan\, 1928–1930. Sharing art from the original volumes\, Weisenfeld will explore the global exchange of ideas and practices that informed designers’ new approaches to lettering\, illustration\, design\, and display.

SUMMARY:Compose Yourself: An exploration of historic and contemporary daredevil typesetting
DESCRIPTION:Typesetting for letterpress printing presents multiple challenges: aligning each letter\, ensuring ideal word and letter spacing\, kerning if necessary\, then locking it all up… even defying gravity in a chase. Daredevil typesetting becomes even more challenging as type is formed in circles\, curves\, waves\, and complex illustrations such as landscapes or buildings. \nJessica will give us a look at the tools and techniques typesetters have employed to achieve amazing and inspiring feats of composition\, followed by some P\, Q & As.
