The aim of the course is to provide students with contemporary typographic forms of expression through experimental projects.
In the EXPERIMENTAL TYPOGRAPHY course, the students are taught typographic forms of expression and typographic design criteria are explained. The use of typography as an art form is projected by questioning experimentalism, visual hierarchy and composition in typographic design.
