Notes on (Type) Camp: 2013 Sessions to Explore Letterforms on Three Continents

The first rule of Type Camp is, you do not talk about Type Camp. Oh wait, that’s Fight Club. What a relief, as we’re itching to tell you about what next year holds for the burgeoning series of immersive design workshops for those who like to debate kerning whilst scarfing gourmet s’mores. Type Camp has big, global plans for 2013, beginning with a five-day seaside getaway in Australia (February 3-7), because it’s about time you followed through on creating that marsupial-inspired font you’re always talking about–we think “Wallaby Sans” has a nice ring to it. Then, in March, it’s off to India for a series of three “professional urban training” sessions (think creative typography and bilingual typesetting) in New Delhi, Mumbai, and Chennai. A planned April installment will offer a creative residential retreat in Japan. And the band of nomadic type junkies will return to India next December for a cultural crash course that includes workshops on Tamil typography, local graphic production methods, and visits to street typographers, ancient and modern Hindu temples, and local markets. It’s the perfect way to spice up your design perspective. Learn more and register here.
