Font Architecture is an online, self-paced course that teaches the complete process of type design—from sketching letterforms to building a functional, usable typeface. Developed by FOSS Projects, the course focuses on judgment, structure, and iteration rather than shortcuts or imitation.

This course is designed as a long-term reference: a manual for learning how to think like a type designer.
