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.
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.
6:30p: Social hour. With drinks!
7:30p: Type Crit. Group critique of letterform design/usage
8:30p: More mixing ’n’ mingling. During Type Crit, you'll realize there are tons of smart people in the room you still need to meet!
9:30p: The End (for this month at least...)
Anyone who loves letterforms. We always welcome a new (type)face.
Not at all! Some people come to network, some to learn and observe, and some to help give feedback. Your level of participation is up to you.
You'll get free, friendly, fast feedback from fellow font fanatics
