This was one of the most helpful courses for learning more about typography. It covers the fundamentals, provides tools to help you choose fonts as a beginner, includes case studies, and offers a lot of information to use as a foundation.

PlusFantástico curso.Tenía claro mi interés antes de iniciarlo (conocer las letras que se ajustan a producto orgánico saludable) y afortunadamente uno de los ejemplos expuestos va en esa línea, pero la opción " eleccion y anáisis tipográfico" ha sido reveladora,como una epifania...y poco a poco estoy estudiando,y comprendiendo todo tipo de tipografias.Uno de los mejores cursos que he estudiado hasta ahora ,recomendable para todo tipo de público ...y yo no vengo del campo del diseño
