Photos: Award-winning typeface designer Nina Stössinger leads APSU students in workshop
(Posted Nov. 1, 2019)
Nina Stössinger, a senior typeface designer at Frere-Jones Type in Brooklyn, New York, led about 20 Austin Peay students in a type design workshop when she visited the University earlier this week.
During the workshop, she and the students explored typeface creation, and the students tried to identify, mimic and create typefaces. She also delivered a lecture on typeface to a full room on Oct. 28 at the Art + Design Building.
The Department of Art + Design, with support from the Center of Excellence for the Creative Arts, supported Stössinger’s visit to APSU.
Her published retail type designs include Empirica and Conductor (both designed with Tobias Frere-Jones), Nordvest and FF Ernestine. She co-designed custom typefaces (also with Frere-Jones) for clients including the Essex Market and Academy Sports + Outdoors.
