Typography

Compact episodes for working designers

This short Urdu and Hindi series from GFXMentor gives a compact introduction to typography across 7 episodes. It moves from the basic idea of restraint in type to spacing, pairing and the less familiar features hidden inside font files.

Episode topics

• Typography fundamentals and the principle of less is more
• Kerning, leading, hierarchy and alignment
• Choosing and pairing typefaces across two episodes
• OpenType features that are easy to overlook

Because the series is brief, it works as a refresher for designers who already use type every day. Some episodes carry English subtitles, so check the individual listing if you need English throughout. Each episode is short enough to watch between other tasks, which suits a quick review of the basics.
