How this will help you

If you spend a little time looking at some of the best logos, posters and editorial illustrations from the past and present, you’ll find a wealth of designs that are completely devoid of fonts.

The designers created the letterforms from scratch.

Customized type helps ensure that your design solutions are unique and original — that they stand out from the litany of canned letterforms found in digital fonts. For designers specializing in logos, posters and illustration, this workshop is a no-brainer.
