In this two-day class, you will learn the basics of designing and generating a variable font with the font-design software Glyphs (Mac only). Go beyond choosing the same typefaces from the type menu to creating your own!
On the first day, we will learn the basics of drawing a font, generate the font, and use it in an Adobe app or a web browser. In the afternoon, we will add additional letters to the font, learning how to space them, add diacritics and punctuation. (You can purchase a one-day ticket for this day only).
On the second day, we will add more letters, design a bold version of the same typeface, create a variable font—and make it animate in a web browser.
At the end of the class, you will probably not have a finished font, but a respectable start and a deep understanding about how fonts are made. And maybe you’ll become a type design addict. You have been warned.

15 years of great brands at NABA
The exhibition presents a selection of panels representative of the projects carried out over the past 15 years in the Creative Lab by the students of the BA in Graphic Design and Art Direction at NABA, Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti in collaboration with nationally and internationally renowned companies, associations and businesses, such as Centri Porsche in Milan, San Benedetto, Venchi, Rolling Stone, and many others. The Creative Lab was established with the precise scope of bridging the academic and professional worlds by offering real-world briefs to third-year students of the BA.
In these times of crisis, war and ecological uncertainty, design cannot simply continue to blindly support consumer society. Ruedi Baur, with the help of projects carried out in various structures (Integral designers, 10 milliards humains, Civic city and École du non-savoir), will present these questions on attitudes and methods linked to design.
The talk will be moderated by Vincenzo Estremo - Course Leader - PhD in Artistic Practice at NABA, Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti.
Organised by Area Communication and Graphic Design di NABA, Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti.
