Let’s rethink lettering!
Alphabet Anomalies is a hands-on workshop exploring letterforms using unconventional, upcycled tools—think sticks, toys, kitchen utensils, carpentry tools, thread, wood, and more. The weirder, the better! It’s about diving into experimentation, getting messy, and discovering unexpected ways to shape letters. We’re here to embrace the unpredictable and offbeat—because the magic of design often lies in the unexpected.
Part 1: Type Overview with Jo Malinis of Type 63
Jo will introduce the fundamentals of type design, exploring the evolution and impact of typography. You’ll learn essential principles for crafting readable, compelling letterforms.
Part 2: Creative Play with Maan Agsalud of Common Room
We will start with guided prompts and playful exercises to spark new ideas using unconventional tools. From there, it’s all about freestyle experimentation, taking your lettering in unexpected directions.
This workshop is co-hosted by Common Room, in partnership with tfph '24
