Heuristic Alphabet Learning — Type design with Elias Hanzer, HAL Typefaces

Learn how to discover unique shapes and hidden functionality from unexpected sources, translate them into abstract forms, and use them to create your own typeface.

This hands-on workshop will guide you through starting a typeface from scratch. We’ll focus primarily on sketching ideas, exploring form, and developing the first version of a font, emphasising form-finding, experimentation, and creativity.

No prior experience required — everyone is welcome
