About this course
Typography Crash Course: From Fundamentals to Design Mastery is your comprehensive introduction to the art and science of typography—an essential design skill for anyone working with text in print or digital media. From its historical roots to its modern applications, typography remains a powerful tool in communication, branding, and visual storytelling.
This course is ideal for creatives who want to strengthen their design work by mastering typography. Whether you're a graphic designer, web designer, animator, sign maker, or print professional, this course will teach you to understand typography terminology, apply design principles across media, and create impactful, text-based designs.
You’ll begin by learning the foundational concepts—tracking, kerning, leading, font classifications—and gradually move into practical applications like creating custom logos, understanding font psychology, and applying typographic design to print, web, and branding projects. Each section includes hands-on exercises that reinforce your learning and help you build a real-world skillset.
The course utilizes Adobe tools—Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign—to demonstrate how professional typographers work, while remaining flexible enough for users of other design software. You'll gain both a theoretical foundation and practical fluency in typography.
