I am beyond excited to announce that Crafting Type, the traveling international font creation workshop, is arriving in Australia for the first time ever! The workshop will be led by global type legend Thomas Phinney (Adobe, Font…lnkd.in/g9RUWgRh craftingtype.com

@craftingtype is coming to Melbourne Mar 24-26 for the first time ever! Three days of type goodness with @ThomasPhinney and myself. Early bird rates now available, see craftingtype.com

I can’t wait to teach type design again, & visit Oz for the first time. Dublin last fall I felt rusty the first day, but then I was on a roll. Now I’m READY! 😂 Can’t explain how much I love talking type to people who want to learn, & helping them reshape those curves. 😍

@stringy @Mandy_Kerr @malchata Too right vegemite

@Mandy_Kerr @malchata Wow I had no idea this was a regionalism! @WayneATF needs to add this to his Aussie slang list 😀

Today @malchata brought to my attention that saying “I have a blood nose” is not a thing people say. Is this an Australian thing, a West Australian thing? My mind is blown.

Typism Worshop tomorrow morning with @wayneatf. If you’re in Canberra, you can still grab tickets. ift.tt/2RDbhFE

Probably forgetting some completely obvious people but outside of the amazing @WayneATF and @fostertype who are some other Australian typeface designers?

@w__h_ @PhilippNeumeyer @dvclmn @fostertype @Steve_Flory @matterofsorts @iamariamontes @typelab_ @7roy @formistgroup I’m in Reading UK studying type as we speak! Would highly recommend the program here.

@KebbleDotDesign @blambot @TypismCommunity You coming along this year Chris? Bring your best hats...

@blambot In Queensland Australia, we have a yearly conference called @TypismCommunity hosting a day of Typographers and Letterers from around the country. Always inspirational and educational. Hanging out with some of the big fish like @WayneATF afterwards is a huge bonus I’m greatful for

Been thinking about a pro letterer summit where a bunch of us could sit down, spend a day going through our respective processes…imagine the time-saving shortcuts we could teach each other that we probably take for granted. Maybe a big dinner after.

@KebbleDotDesign @blambot @TypismCommunity I am quite big. And I sometimes smell like a fish.

Loveable larrikin and past #typism speaker @wayneATF gives us this gift of Aussie lingo in the new #typismbook Grab your copy now for just $38.50 +pp. typismbook.com ift.tt/2K7LJNo

One of the perks about being an identity designer is that you get to exercise your brain daily, problem solving varied briefs for a wide variety of clients. This time a boat manufacturer.
