The included twelve mini-lessons are typically incorporated throughout a 16-week semester to build vector drawing proficiency and typographic familiarity. They are not necessarily combined together in a 6-week period. Other mini-lessons that do not directly address typeface design have been removed.
I would love to collaborate and build upon this framework for digital lettering, especially with digital/web/animation ideas for mini-assignments or typeface design project outcomes.
If you are interested in learning more, collaborating, or simply want to contribute some ideas, please contact me (Karl):
