With over 150,000 digital fonts available on the web, professional designers must learn how to filter & select the ones who better meet the graphic needs of a given design project, while keeping it consistent and relevant.

This course deals with paths and shortcuts for choosing and combining typefaces. Students are challenged to build upon their own methods while taking cultural, historical, and formal aspects into consideration. Briefing, type foundries, and typographic quality are also topics to be addressed.

Henrique’s Bio: Henrique Nardi is a graphic designer from São Paulo.
