TypeThursdaySF – September

SEE EVENT DETAILS
It's fontastic & boldacious & x-heighting!It’s TypeThursdaySF!
TypeThursdaySF is a monthly gathering of San Francisco Bay Area type geeks (21+), held at the San Francisco Center for the Book. We like to think of ourselves as a type superfamily: we attract local letterform lovers hailing from all disciplines and levels of expertise. Social hours bookend the centerpiece of our event, a group critique we refer to as Type Crit.
What the font is Type Crit??
Briefly: It’s a critique. Of letterforms. No grades. Plenty of beer.
Verbosely: Type Crit is a group critique of up to four, in-progress projects involving letterform design and/or usage. You can get, give, or simply listen to feedback—your pick! Discussion is moderated by a TypeThursdaySF dialogue lead—we pride ourselves on fostering a friendly forum for constructive, thoughtful advice that’ll raise the baseline on your letterform game.
QUICK LINK: Sign up to present work for feedback at Type Crit
What’s the program for the evening?
6p: Social hour. Drinks + food included in ticket! 7p: Type Crit. Group critique of letterform design/usage ?8p: More mixing ’n’ mingling. During Type Crit, you'll realize there are tons of smart people in the room you still need to meet! 9p: Go home. The San Francisco Center for the Book is amazing; however, you cannot camp amongst the letterpress machines.
