Type School with Oh No Type Co
OH no Type Co is the Oakland-based type foundry behind some of our favourite typefaces, including Degular, Digestive and Eckmannpsych.
If you’re like us (and contemplating the leap into creating original typefaces), you’ll find their new Type School on Instagram much like the Foundry itself - equal parts informative and hilarious.
“After years of teaching, I find students facing the same problems over and over. I’ve been trying to address those common issues on this series of posts on our instagram. If you’re interested in learning more about type design, or you’re a user of type that has never gotten into the nitty gritty details, we hope you take a look.”
— OH no Type Co
Everything you need to know about the intricacies of uppercase and lowercase lettering, where mistakes are commonly made, and important lessons to keep in mind - letter by letter.
If you’re not already following @ohnotypeco, there’s still time to join the Type School journey for the rest of the alphabet, numbers and punctuation.
There’s also the suggestion of a book for these nuggets of wisdom, and if there’s a Kickstarter to get this one going, we’re definitely here to support it.
