What would you like to get out of this group?
Hello type enthusiasts. I started this Skool group as an extension of my Instagram and later my newsletter. None of these outlets have been particularly active, and I'm now in the process of rethinking Typographic North as a whole. As a part of this process, I would love to hear your ideas about what this Skool group could become. Here's a few ideas that have been brewing: • Offer introductory courses in book and publication design • Offer Indesign and Affinity Publisher tutorials • Have recurring informal calls for members. Coffee hours, virtual co-working sessions, hangouts. • Arrange a book club • Create and share templates of various sorts Do you have any wishes or ideas for this group? Let's hear them! Together, we can shape this community's future. – Kris

Hi @Kristen Hus I definitely like the book and publication design courses, and the book club ideas. It would be interesting to dive deeper into the relationship between typography and book design!

Hi everyone! I’m Robert, and I live in Quebec, Canada. I joined the community a few days ago, and I’m really glad to be here! I’ve been passionate about drawing and books for as long as I can remember. I started freelancing in high school, drawing pencil portraits of people, designing posters for charities, illustrating a few published books, etc. Over the years, I shifted to book covers and layouts design as part of my freelance work. My current favorite font is League Spartan—bold and modern, it’s definitely a go-to right now. Looking forward to learning from and connecting with you all!

@Kristoffel Boudens That's a great observation! I see the similarity too. I feel like League Spartan is bolder and has more impact, especially for uses like book titles and headings. I’ve been using it often for these lately —it does stand out.
Helvetica or Times?
You're facing a terrible choice. The world is devoid of typefaces, fonts have been dissolved into faint memories. Those glorious font selection menus cut down to a binary. Written communication persists, though; even though the selection is slim, you have options: Times New Roman or Helvetica. For all time. Which font will you use in all applications, forever? Why?

Helvetica for me as well. I love its clean, modern design and its simplicity. I find it more versatile too.

Passionate about systems and book design, I've designed several books for authors and editors. I love streamlining and simplifying design processes.
