What you'll learn:

  • Full alphabet in Kilian's unique style
  • Alteration of letterforms to create variations
  • Understanding the design process and choices
  • Examination of Kilian's works with an emphasis on his letterform variations and design choices
  • Manipulation of letterforms as subordinate factor in design priority 
  • Special characters and how to invent our own that we don't find in Kilian's works

Sabine teaches the letterforms using first a pencil and then a pointed pen. You could use a brush pen, paintbrush, colored pencils or a ruling pen... whatever tool is more your jam!
