Take control of your type instead of letting it control you! RGD Ontario presents this master class, geared towards design professionals and type enthusiasts of all skill levels. This session focuses on learning and applying the typographic skills and
aesthetics rarely taught in schools, or fully understood by professionals. Learn how to “see” like you've never seen before.

You will learn:
+ The ten worst typographic typos
+ Mastering typographic details
+ Kerning demystified
+ What makes a good typeface

Ilene Strizver, founder of The Type Studio, is a typographic consultant, designer, writer and educator specializing in all aspects of visual communication from the aesthetic to
the technical. Ilene formerly was the Director of Typeface Development for International Typeface Corporation (ITC) where she developed more than 300 notable text and display
typefaces. Her book, Type Rules! The designer’s guide to professional typography, has received numerous accolades from the type and design community. Her clients include
