The Learning Type is the semester project of graphic design student Amy Ferreira, coded and written from scratch at Bristol Community College in fall 2018. It is an unholy matrimony of a commercial blog’s layout and informational, vaguely-chronological reading material. Although the author is by no means an expert, she hopes people learn from these articles as much as she did writing them.

This website has been designed for a distraction-free reading experience. It is deeply indebted to Matthew Butterick’s Practical Typography both for layout and material. Typefaces used are Merriweather and Merriweather Sans, both available through Google Fonts, and chosen for their font variety and screen legibility. Images are credited where used through the Fancybox clickthrough.
