It's fontastic & boldacious & x-heighting!


It’s TypeThursday Seattle!


TypeThursdaySeattle is a monthly gathering of Seattle's (and the whole Sound really) type geeks, held at WeWork SLU. We like to think of ourselves as a type superfamily: we attract local letterform lovers hailing from all disciplines and levels of expertise. Social hours bookend the centerpiece of our event, a group critique we refer to as Type Crit.

And bring your own work-in-progress to show to your colleagues. That’s the heart of TypeThursday.

What the font is Type Crit‽


Briefly: It’s a critique. Of letterforms. No grades. 

Verbosely: Type Crit is a group critique of up to four, in-progress projects involving letterform design and/or usage. You can get, give, or simply listen to feedback—your pick! Discussion is moderated by a TypeThursdaySeattle dialogue lead—we pride ourselves on fostering a friendly forum for constructive, thoughtful advice that’ll raise the baseline on your letterform game.
