This course is a practical introduction to typography. It is designed for learners at a beginner level who want to move from scattered knowledge to a clear, usable understanding they can apply straight away.

Across 5 lessons you will work through the core ideas step by step, with short exercises after each section so you can check your understanding as you go rather than at the very end.

What you’ll cover:

• Anatomy of a Typeface
• Pairing Fonts With Purpose
• Scale, Leading and Measure
• Grids and Composition
• Common Typographic Mistakes

By the end you should be comfortable enough with typography to keep learning on your own, and to apply what you have covered in a real design context. No prior specialist background is assumed beyond basic familiarity with the subject area.
