    Description
    <b><font color="7A0018">Begins Fall 2025</b></font><br>This course provides an introduction to the fundamental aspects of creative letterform design for effective visual communication. Students develop initial prototypes on the drawing board and further computer refinements using software such as Illustrator and FontForge to produce professional typefaces in the OpenType format. The class underscores a broad cross-section of typefaces and Gutenberg historical precedents of typographic style to generate original visual solutions.
