Good design lives or dies on type, and kodestree’s Typography Course builds that skill from the ground up. Across 30 hours of live, instructor-led sessions, you will study letterform anatomy, typeface classification, and pairing rules, then apply them through real branding, editorial, and interface projects. Whether you are new to design or refining existing skills, this typography course prepares you to choose type with intention and communicate tone through every layout.
Prerequisites
This typography training welcomes complete beginners, though the following will help you settle into the live sessions faster:
- A basic understanding of design principles (helpful, not mandatory)
- Comfort using a computer and standard design or office software
- Some familiarity with graphic design concepts is a plus, not a requirement
- A genuine interest in visual communication and typography
- Openness to practice, redraft, and take feedback on your work
Why Learn Typography?
Every brand, app, poster, and webpage is, at its core, mostly text – and typography decides whether that text is read, skimmed, or ignored. A designer who understands type anatomy and pairing works faster and defends their choices with reasons, not guesswork, which is exactly what separates a junior portfolio from a hireable one. Typography is also evolving quickly: variable fonts now let a single file adapt weight and width across devices, AI-assisted type tools are speeding up font pairing and headline generation, and accessible, dyslexia-friendly type choices are becoming a baseline expectation rather than a nice extra. Learning typography properly today means learning to work with these newer tools, not just classic print rules from a decade ago.
