TypeThursday BUC ☛ February

TypeThursday BUC #09

TypeThursdayBUC is a monthly event dedicated to everyone with a passion for typography. We like to think of ourselves as a type super-family: we attract local letterform lovers hailing from all disciplines and levels of expertise. Social hours bookend the centerpiece of our event, a group critique we refer to as Type Crit.

What the font is Type Crit‽

Briefly: It’s a friendly critique of letterforms. No grades. Plenty of wine/beer.
Type Crit is a group critique of up to three in-progress projects involving letterform design and/or usage. You can get, give, or simply listen to feedback—your pick! Discussion is moderated by a TypeThursdayBUC dialogue lead—we pride ourselves on fostering a friendly forum for constructive, thoughtful advice that’ll raise the baseline on your letterform game.
