Module 4
Typography
Welcome to the fourth module in our 8-week course. This week, we focus on understanding the fundamentals of typefaces and their components. We will analyze typefaces to recognize their anatomy and differences. Typography isn't just about selecting fonts; it's about how we use them to communicate effectively. In this module, you will participate in a class discussion and complete the assigned chapter reading and lesson. You will end the Module by taking the Module 4 knowledge check and creating an Anatomy of Type Poster. You will also have the chance to earn extra credit if you decide to do so.
