Type Design Workshops

Add to Calendar

RIT students are invited to participate in a day of workshops led by a trio of world-renowned typeface designers: visiting artist Juan Villanueva and Georg Seifert and Rainer Erich Scheichelbauer, the originators of font editing software Glyphs. Seifert and Scheichelbauer are RIT's 2026 Frederic W. Goudy Award recipients.

The workshops, open to all RIT students, cover a range of topics related to typeface design on Saturday, April 11. If interested in securing a spot in any of them, please email Steve Matteson at srmfaa@rit.edu.
