​📚 Thinking with Type

​Thinking With Type, by Ellen Lupton, is a comprehensive and accessible introduction to typography. The book covers the history, principles, and applications of typefaces. It's a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the visual language of text.

​📝 What to expect

• ​First hour: We'll kick things off with an icebreaker and then have a discussion on the first half of the book. Try to read as much as you can.

• ​Second hour: We'll have time for people to chat, get food or drinks, and connect on LinkedIn.

​❓Discussion questions

​Feeling stuck or don't know what to talk about? We'll have discussion guides to hand out at the event.
