Typography training for designers and design teams

TypeEd focuses on transforming graphic designers into directors by teaching essential typography skills. Founded by Rachel Elnar and Michael Stinson, the program addresses the gap in typography education by offering classes and workshops that emphasize the importance of readability and effective communication in design.

TypeEd provides a range of classes, from basic to advanced levels, covering topics such as type anatomy, page layout, and typesetting. The program also offers hands-on workshops and clinics to strengthen specific skills, catering to both individual designers and design teams. Their approach is rooted in practical applications and a deep understanding of typographic history.

With a community of over 650 alumni, TypeEd supports ongoing learning through monthly Q&A calls and resources. Their training has helped designers improve efficiency and performance, as evidenced by testimonials from students who have seen tangible benefits in their careers and projects.
