Dipping Your Toes in Type: Communicating with Clarity from Letter to Layout

The Blanket Fort Academy Extremely Official Lean-Into-Your-Creative-Potential (no pressure, though) Scholarship

Applications close Friday, February 27 at 11:59pm. Winners will be announced Monday, March 2nd.

Course runs March 31st-June 20th, 2026


One full-tuition scholarship will be awarded for this course.

Dipping Your Toes in Type is designed for creatives who understand that typography isn’t decoration — it’s communication. Whether you’re a designer, illustrator, art director, or visual storyteller, strong type skills elevate everything.

This course is hands-on and critique-based. You’ll explore hierarchy, spacing, pairing, readability, and visual voice — and you’ll be expected to experiment, revise, and refine your work thoughtfully.

If selected, you will attend live sessions, complete assignments, and actively participate in critique. This is a working class, not a watching class.

We are investing in someone who is serious about sharpening their craft and strengthening how their ideas land.

If you’re ready to move from “good enough” to intentional and precise — we invite you to apply.
