Typography gives written language a visual rhythm through letterforms, spacing and arrangement.
SESSION 01
Establishing a reference
Typography gives written language a visual rhythm through letterforms, spacing and arrangement. Line length affects the rhythm of reading. A useful working note records the context and the purpose of the study. Keep the details that explain what was noticed, and distinguish them from ideas that emerged later.
SESSION 02
Describing the setup
Spacing helps separate groups of information. When revisiting a series of observations, begin with the original context. Record the order of the work and keep the first descriptions alongside any later interpretation.
Illustrative reference data, not live measurements.
SESSION 03
Reading the first observation
The next pass through typography studies focuses on comparison. Type size and contrast contribute to a visual hierarchy. Look for the relationships between the details and retain enough context for another reader to understand the study.
SESSION 04
Working with variation
Typography gives written language a visual rhythm through letterforms, spacing and arrangement. Line length affects the rhythm of reading. A useful working note records the context and the purpose of the study. Keep the details that explain what was noticed, and distinguish them from ideas that emerged later.
SESSION 05
Comparing the records
Spacing helps separate groups of information. When revisiting a series of observations, begin with the original context. Record the order of the work and keep the first descriptions alongside any later interpretation.
Illustrative reference data, not live measurements.
SESSION 06
Interpreting a diagram
The next pass through typography studies focuses on comparison. Type size and contrast contribute to a visual hierarchy. Look for the relationships between the details and retain enough context for another reader to understand the study.
SESSION 07
Recording the conditions
Typography gives written language a visual rhythm through letterforms, spacing and arrangement. Line length affects the rhythm of reading. A useful working note records the context and the purpose of the study. Keep the details that explain what was noticed, and distinguish them from ideas that emerged later.
SESSION 08
Reviewing the method
Spacing helps separate groups of information. When revisiting a series of observations, begin with the original context. Record the order of the work and keep the first descriptions alongside any later interpretation.

SESSION 09
A second pass
The next pass through typography studies focuses on comparison. Type size and contrast contribute to a visual hierarchy. Look for the relationships between the details and retain enough context for another reader to understand the study.
SESSION 10
The limits of the study
Typography gives written language a visual rhythm through letterforms, spacing and arrangement. Line length affects the rhythm of reading. A useful working note records the context and the purpose of the study. Keep the details that explain what was noticed, and distinguish them from ideas that emerged later.
