In this course of typography you will begin by laying the theoretical bases of construction and anatomy of the letter starting from basic forms, playing with the optical laws, taking into account the spacing, the rhythm and the readability.
Next, you will define the typographic form with the double pencil technique, a simple tool that will allow you to learn to manage the rhythm and structure of the letters.
Then, you will go to the digitization phase using Illustrator and Glyphs (software for Mac), for the final obtaining of a typographic font. Finally, you will learn to apply certain tweaks and adjustments to then export the new type and be able to use it on your computer.
The professors of Gliglifo will propose you a series of words taken from literature to find "their aroma" and begin to design a typeface that you can install on your computer. From there, you will already have the base to develop your own typographic system.

To all letter lovers.
You do not need any prior knowledge in typography to create your final project. As for materials, you will need a normal paper, vegetable paper, two pens, two rubber bands to join the pencils and a computer with the Glyphs and Illustrator software (although the course offers alternative programs to be able to work on the typography design).

A glyph is the specific visual representation of a character, which can be a letter, number, or symbol. A character is the abstract unit, while the glyph is its concrete visual form within a typeface.
The course is aimed at people with basic knowledge of graphic design or typography, so it’s intermediate level. Familiarity with visual concepts and digital tools is recommended.
You’ll need a computer with vector design software like Adobe Illustrator and preferably a specialized typography program such as Glyphs or FontLab. Tracing paper, pencils, and a scanner are also recommended.
You’ll learn how to create custom glyphs, design letters from scratch, adjust proportions, spacing, and typographic rhythm, digitize your work, and apply optical principles to enhance legibility and consistency in your fonts.
The course guides you from manual sketching and anatomical understanding to digitization and optical adjustment of each letter, using techniques like the double-pencil method, calligraphic proportions, and visual tweaks in professional software.
Typographic consistency ensures all glyphs in a font share a unified visual and expressive logic, improving communication, readability, and strengthening the visual identity of any graphic design project.
The optical center is the visually balanced point of a letter, usually slightly above the mathematical center. Adjusting based on the optical center improves the look and legibility of characters.
