COLLABTYPE WORKSHOP BEST WISHES ITALIC

☺️ IN AN INCREASINGLY VIRTUAL WORLD, WE'VE DECIDED TO MOVE AWAY FROM THE DIGITAL (and often lonely) APPROACH TO FONTS WITH THIS COLLABORATIVE, REMOTE, WORLDWIDE TYPOGRAPHY WORKSHOP.

Our aim: To create a functional typography in a short time frame by collaborating with as many people as possible, dividing the letters, symbols, numbers and emojis between the participants.
The methodology: Using paper, scissors and glue, build a letter over the "letter grid" following the instructions provided.
The materials: Printer, paper, scissors, glue and scanner ✂️

The schedule:
JANUARY 10 - 13 _ Signup dates.
JANUARY 15 -19 _ You design and forward your assigned letters.
JANUARY 20 - 23 _ W Type Foundry programs the font.
JANUARY 24 - 25 _ Font testing for participants.
JANUARY 27 _ Official release of the font to the public.
