A course by Ivan Castro
Ivan Castro is a graphic designer specialized in calligraphy, lettering and typography. He has been described by Yorokobu as "the musician of the types" because, as he says, "calligraphy or lettering are like music, not only do you have to play the notes well, you also have to take care of the rhythm and silences. "
