Over the past few decades, a large number of books have been published on typography and designing with type. The contents range from the history of type, the development of our current type systems, the role and function of type in the respective period, to practical instructions in the design process.
In the seminar, we want to get an overview of the analog and digital literature on offer, learn something about the authors, deepen individual examples with practical work and develop a written review of the individual specialist publications / sources.
The aim is to provide other students with a quick overview of the sources of information on typography at the end of the seminar and to make recommendations.
