Alanna brings a deep, obsessive love of letterforms to her practice, designing typefaces that balance historical reference with contemporary character — and she's bringing that same eye to Porchlight for an afternoon of exploration and design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this workshop, you'll start by browsing Porchlight's extensive and beautiful collection of wood type — decades of letterforms in a range of styles, weights, and eras. Pick one letter that speaks to you, then use it as your jumping-off point to sketch and design your own original typeface. Alanna will guide you through the fundamentals of letterform construction — stroke weight, proportion, counters, and rhythm — helping you develop an eye for typography as you shape your letter into a small type study of your own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo design experience necessary — just curiosity and a willingness to look closely at the shapes of letters.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat you'll take away:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA hands-on introduction to typeface design fundamentals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirect experience with Porchlight's wood type collection as design reference\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYour own sketched letterform\/type study to take home\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA sharper eye for typography — the details of weight, proportion, and rhythm you'll start noticing everywhere\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials \u0026amp; refreshments:\u003c\/strong\u003e All sketching materials and light refreshments provided.
