   Minisode! How Can Typography Tell a Story?

   Join Roman on this special episode as he takes you on a typographic journey! Vernacular Typography is the process of using letterforms from street signage, historic events, and basically anywhere in the wild as design inspiration. Modern day typographers including Tré Seals of VOCAL Type employ this strategy in creating fonts that help give a voice to underrepresented groups in the design world. Learn about the power of type in conveying emotion, inflection, and history in each letterform.
