HOW TO

[NOT]

DESIGN A
TYPEFACE

Creating conditions/systems to
see/generate/have fun with type design.
 Typography doesn’t have to be rigid—it can be an experiment, a playground, a space for unexpected discoveries and fun. This series of workshops invites designers, artists, and type enthusiasts to break free from conventional rules and explore type design through logic, collaboration, and play.
"How to Not Design a Typeface" helps establish simple, intuitive constraints to guide creative exploration—without getting stuck on technicalities like x-heights and baselines. Instead, the focus is on how emergent forms can arise through playful experimentation. Whether you're a designer looking to challenge creative systems or just want to have fun pushing typographic boundaries, this space is for you.




The latest workshop was held at London College of   Communication. More workshops coming soon!

STEP 1:
GRID GENERATOR

A grid is ever changing; open, generous, inviting, organic and flexible to accommodate everyone rooted in community, politics, love and joy. It adapts & evolves through collective and conscious creativity, shaping connections that grow stronger over time, weaving together past, present, and future into a shared vision.

Grids are not monolithic. They help tell human stories in endless ways. The grid structure acts as a playground for a concious creation of a typeface.
