CalArts workshop Jan 13-16
Over the course of 4 days, CalArts MFA students developed a typeface and designing specimen examples that introduced themselves to the systematic possibilities that a keystroke font enables. Thank you to those that participated and to CalArts for hosting. @mwcounterspace Review photo by Rafael Hernandez @2071photo

Explore the fundamentals of type design in this 3-day workshop led by LuxTypo with students at California State University, Northridge.
Come check us out this Saturday (4/18) starting at 4pm! There will be music, food and drinks. Paid parking available on campus’s Lot D6. (address is Lot D6, Northridge, CA 91325)
From understanding letter anatomy to building your own font system, participants experiment, iterate, and develop original typefaces—embracing process over perfection.
Ever wondered what 2,000 Colette Biscuit glyphs look like on one canvas? We used a few lines of Processing to pack them into a square, creating patterns and motion through color, form, and code. Not AI, just logic-driven design—with a sprinkle of colorful glitter made from Colette Biscuit, available to license.
30+ years of Nova. Sample from the ‘book in progress’ that looks at the typeface ’Nova’, from the beginning through its 3 decades of evolution.
Nova is the result of an experiment in what is truly necessary for a character to be legible. Each character was designed around the minimal notion, “how much does one need to be able to read.” Some characters achieve this more easily than others; however, when set in context of a word, the eye can compensate. Rather than selecting an existing typeface and “editing,” Nova was designed from zero. The typeface was born this way, not mutated to this point – you can’t miss what you never had.
