ABOUT THIS EVENT

Type Something Up!
TypeThursday is a monthly meetup focused on the discussion of work-in-progress letterform projects, as well as a place to network and nerd out with other type enthusiasts. Think of your in-classroom critique, but instead, you get feedback from industry professionals (and get pizza!)
