My Type@Cooper's class is going to be showing our typefaces off at the TDC soon!  There is also a website in the works, so look out for that too!

After-class/term drinks at Cooper’s with some of the Type@Cooper crowd last week. Wish I had remembered to bust out the camera earlier so as to have gotten more people.

Photos from Alexander Tochilovsky's April 1 lecture on Modular Modernism: Supertipo Veloz for the Herb Lubalin Lecture Series, one of the final lectures of the term. A lot of great eye candy and creative modular systems to analyze!

A week ago, my classmates and I were setting up for a weekend of Python coding with the awesome and ever-patient Ben Kiel for the final workshop of Type@Cooper Term 2. It was a brain melter for sure, but I felt it got the Python foundation laid in my mind, and had me excited and relatively competent to dive into more Python craziness.

Scenes from the Term 2 final critique with Chester Jenkins & Christian Schwartz! Thank you so much guys for your time and insight! The class took away the notes, ready to work on our original typefaces to prepare for term 3, where we'll be respectively making italics and bold weights. It was interesting to see how far everyone in the class had gone with their typefaces. It was also funny to see the the common issues that came up with each of us (such as the wide Z’s (Zed) and tope heavy S’s) , and thinking about how much influence we have on each other and each other's typefaces. Thankful to be with a talented and inspiring crowd!
