The alphabet does a lot of heavy lifting for us every day, most of it pretty mundane. But it also has a quirky sense of play, and this is something Type Designer Rod Cavazos explores with obsessive delight.
Join us for a rare peek at some of the exotic alphabetic concepts, constructs and curiosities he and his team have tinkered up in their San Francisco design office, PSY/OPS (http://www.psyops.com/). You’ll have a chance to participate with a quirky sense of play at the in-session Fontbake, and possibly win a digital goodie bag of typefaces and other fontalicious treats.
General Assembly in Santa Monica (https://generalassemb.ly/education/alphatypoglyphic-playful-new-perspectives-on-the-alphabet/los-angeles/10200) will be hosting our meetup and also be sponsoring our drinks! Please visit their site to purchase your ticket.
Rod Cavazos is Principal Type Designer at PSY/OPS San Francisco (http://www.psyops.com/), where he has created dozens of typefaces for top tier corporations and brands, schools and nonprofits, and even a couple of governments. He serves as Adjunct Professor of Type Design at California College of the Arts; and Instructional Lead at (The) Alphabetic Order (http://alphabeticorder.com/). His passion for type and teaching are boundless, and he can usually be found experimenting with letters in some form, on screen or off.
