Typography and Layout

Beyond choosing fonts

The course reframes typography as the work of giving text both personality and structure. Font choice is only one part of that; how lines, spacing and hierarchy are arranged does much of the communicating.

Who it is for

Beginners who want a clear route into layout thinking will find it useful, especially if they plan to work in Adobe software. Because it is offered by Adobe, the examples and tools are likely to be tied to that ecosystem.
