They invited three type designers to present their respective approach to teaching.

Florian has been offering FontStruct workshops for several years now, as part of his introductory typography course. \u201cWhat I like most about FontStruct is that beginners can quickly go through all relevant steps of font creation, without getting lost in details. On one hand, trying their own hands at it teaches the students more respect for typefaces and their designers. On the other, it lowers the barriers to entry into type design, when they realize that it\u2019s not some magic, and that they can make their own font within hours.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/jakob.grommas.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Jakob Grommas<\/a> designed a large-sized poster, showcasing selected FontStructions from the Braunschweig workshops.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/fontstruct.com\/news\/uploads\/2013\/08\/Best-of-Braunschweig.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2476\" alt=\"Best-of-Braunschweig\" src=\"http:\/\/fontstruct.com\/news\/uploads\/2013\/08\/Best-of-Braunschweig.png\" width=\"485\" height=\"694\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Thanks to Florian and his students for sharing their work with us.<\/p>\n<p>P.S.: <a href=\"http:\/\/on-type.de\/\" target=\"_blank\">ON\u2013TYPE<\/a> is on display until August 11th.
