We’ll be the proud hosts at Adobe’s San Francisco office for three more sessions of Type Camp this spring. The camps cover a huge range of typographic topics — each class is a totally different experience, even when the instructors are the same.

If you’re in the Bay Area, it’s a great way to spend a Friday sharpening your typography and lettering skills. Registration for each class is open on the Type Camp website — see the class-specific links below. Hope to see you there!
