TO THE CLUB!
Type Design Club is a learning space that supports and promotes typeface design in Indonesia. Since 2022, we’ve organized programs focused on Latin and Indonesian traditional scripts. Our goal is to share knowledge, build connections, and foster collaboration within the local typography community.
14-WEEK LATIN TEXT TYPE DESIGN COURSE
This 14-week course is open to anyone interested in learning how to design original Latin letterforms. It combines theory and practice, covering core principles and techniques—from sketching ideas to exporting a usable font. Through lectures, Q&A sessions, and group critiques, participants will explore the type design process in an interactive setting. By the end of the course, each student will develop a functional and uniquely crafted typeface.
