Type Design Class
Online font making courses and workshops that teach type design fundamentals, practical production, and hands on exercises with community access.

- Personalized support and feedback from the instructor
- Good collection of free type resources
Cons
- Limited enrollment periods
Type Design Class teaches type design and font making in a straight, practical way. The program focuses on sketch practice, spacing, metrics, and production workflows in Glyphs, with live demos and hands on critiques led by Viktor Baltus and other instructors. Expect guided assignments and clear deadlines so you actually finish files instead of endlessly tweaking sketches.
The classes are workshop driven and project focused. Lessons combine technical demos, tight critique loops, and a community channel where students ask questions between sessions. Workshops push you through real production steps so you learn how to set metrics, build outlines, and export usable fonts. The emphasis is on making things that work, not endless theory.
This is not a casual hobby course. It is an extended, focused path into typeface design that asks for time and attention. Dates and pricing change by session, so try a short workshop before you commit to a bigger course. If you want a pragmatic, hands on route into font making with concrete feedback and a community that pushes you to finish, Type Design Class is a solid, no nonsense option.
